Péter Csernovics

Count Petar Čarnojević (, ; Mača, Kingdom of Hungary, 13 March 1810 - Fenj, Austria-Hungary, 27 April 1892) was a Hungarian nobleman and politician who served as Prefect of Temes County and Royal Commissioner during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.

Life and career Čarnojević was born on 13 March 1810 in Mácsa, in Arad County, Hungary, as the son of Pavle Čarnojević (1755–1840) and his wife, Laura Vojnić (d. 1842). He hailed from a family of Serbian descent whose oldest patriarch had gained Hungarian nobility in 1720. In 1843 he was elected to the Hungarian Parliament for Arad County.

Both sides condemned him - the Serbs considered him a betrayer of national interests, while the Hungarians resented his indecision and reluctance to use force to quell the Rebellion. In July 1848 Čarnojević was relieved of his duties by the Hungarian government who felt he had not done enough to punish the Serb insurgents. He was a patron of the Arad Theater. From 1865 to 1875 he was a member of the Hungarian Parliament in three cycles. They had a son Arsenije and a daughter Laura.

Death Čarnojević died on 27 April 1892 in Fenj.
