Alexander VI (Kossmilian:Александр VI Петрович) was the last king of Kossmil, reigning from 20 April 1912 until his until his deposition in 3 October 1930 by the Assembly at 9am in the morning. He was the last reigning member of the Petrović dynasty.

The only son of Vladimir V and Maria *last name*, Alexander ascended to the throne on 20 April 1912 at 23 years old after his father pass away from cholera. During his reign, he advocated closer ties with Drambenburg then with Zamastan, he also gave support to women rights and support to minority religions but he resisted giving the newly formed parliament (Assembly) major roles. Ultimately, his progress was undermined by his commitment to autocratic rule and also giving roles to the people that would take advantage of his good nature which create a culture of corruption while the people suffer in poverty and starvation. By October 1930, public support for Alexander had collapsed for both public and within most of the Assembly, he was forced to abdicate the throne after court trial that found him guilty along 20 officials for corruption and the mismanagement of government funds while the people suffer.

While the 20 officials have harsh prison sentences, Alexander and his family was exile from Kossmil as punishment for creating the corruption in Kossmil. The Drambenburg government offered asylums for the royal family which he accepted and he settled in Lerbin with his family, during his early time in Drambenburg he allowed the press to interview him and he also wrote book on his time as king in which he states regrets and take responsibility for his role in the corruption and that he should of noticed it before it got out of hand. Later on in his life he was suffering from depression and alcoholism because of his exile, and that he saw the state Kossmil was it in with the collapse. On 6 July 1940, he committed suicide by hanging himself in his office aged 51.
