Alexander Joseph GCB (Bulgarian: Александър I Батенберг; 5 April 1857 – 17 November 1893), known as Alexander of Battenberg, was the first prince (knyaz) of the Principality of Bulgaria from 1879 until his abdication in 1886.[1] He was elected Prince of autonomous Bulgaria, which officially remained within the Ottoman Empire, by the national assembly in 1879. He dissolved the assembly in 1880 and suspended the Constitution in 1881, considering it too liberal. He restored the Constitution in 1883, leading to open conflict with Russia that made him popular in Bulgaria. Unification with Eastern Rumelia was achieved and recognised by the powers in 1885. He was ousted in a coup by pro-Russian Bulgarian Army officers who forced him to abdicate in September 1886. He later became a general in the Austrian army.
