”...When the Ottoman military administration was established Albanian leaders would more than often command the Turkish armies, they were the best officials in Turkey, but at their home, they wanted to remain the ones in charge be them high officials, villagers, or shepherds.”- Eqrem Bej Vlora https://www.instagram.com/p/CJCrsAAFP-h/?igshid=80smlxtq5vfv

The House of Kastrioti was an Albanian noble family, active in the 14th and 15th centuries as the rulers of the Principality of Kastrioti. The first Kastrioti mentioned in historical documents was a kephale of Kaninë in 1368. At the beginning of the 15th century the family controlled the region around Dibër (modern westernmost North Macedonia and easternmost Albania) at the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. The most notable member was Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg, a brilliant military commander, regarded as Albanian national hero. After the fall of the Principality and Skanderbeg’s death in 1468 the Kastrioti family gave their allegiance to the Kingdom of Naples and were given control over the Duchy of San Pietro in Galatina and the County of Soleto in the Province of Lecce, Italy, Ferrante, son of Gjon Kastrioti II, Duke of Galatina and Count of Spoleto is the direct ancestor of all male members of the Kastrioti family today. The family consists of two branches, one in Lecce and the other in Napoli. #Shqipful #ShqipfulWomen #GjergjKastrioti #Skanderbeg
