Elena of Montenegro (Serbian: ?????? ???????? ????? / Jelena Petrovic Njegoš; 8 January 1873 – 28 November 1952) was a Montenegrin princess as the daughter of King Nicholas I of Montenegro and his wife, Queen Milena.
She was Queen of Italy from 1900 until 1946 as wife of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy.Due to the Fascist conquest of the Ethiopian Empire in 1936 and Albania in 1939, Queen Elena briefly used the claimed titles of Empress of Ethiopia and Queen of Albania; both titles were dropped when her husband formally renounced them in 1943.
With the opening of the case for her canonization, she was made Servant of God by the Catholic Church in 2001.
