Dahije mass assassinations of Knyaz; post-event outrage causes Serbs to revolt

The Slaughter of the Knezes was a campaign of organized murders and assaults of notable Serbs in the Belgrade Pashalik in January–February 1804 by the renegade Janissaries known as "Dahije", who had seized power in a coup against the Vizier Hadji Mustafa Pasha in 1800–1801. Fearing Serbian plans of rebellion, they decided to execute leading Serbs throughout the pashalik.
