Before he became Serbian Patriarch, he was Metropolitan of Niš, under Serbian patriarch Atanasije II.[2] When Atanasije died in 1752, Serbian patriarchal throne was taken by Metropolitan of Dabar-BosniaGavrilo Mihailović who also died soon after returning from Constantinople in the autumn of the same year, struck by sudden illness. Before death, he made succession arrangements with metropolitan Gavrilo Nikolić, who was elected new Serbian Patriarch as Gavrilo III.[3] In following years, Serbian Patriarchate of Peć was in constant internal turmoil, accompanied by worsening financial crisis and huge debts.[4] Between 1755 and 1758, Gavrilo III was challenged by rivals and finally lost the patriarchal throne, but in 1761, a group of Serbian bishops and other ecclesiastical leaders who met in Niš tried to bring him back, without final success.[5]
