Fun fact: this song was uploded for the 578th anniversary of the League of Lezhë, which basically was a military and diplomatic alliance of the Albanian aristocracy, formed to resist the Ottoman Empire, and it was led by Skanderbeg.
The League of Lezhe is an incredibly overlooked part in Balkan history as a whole. Not only was it one of the last bastions of Ottoman resistance, but it was the first time in history in which the Albanian nobility came together under a unified presence.

@@nikolasmaillis6862 E-V13 (Haplogroup E) is one of the Haplogroups that were common among Illyrians, yes. E-V13 as Haplogroup Y originated from the so-called Neolithic settlers, who entered the Balkans from Anatolia about 8500 years ago. These Neolithic settlers were the founders of the Minoan civilization, the first European civilization in history. They also played a major role in the ethnogenesis of the Mycenaeans, Greeks, Thracians, Dacians and Illyrians that followed. E-V13 is one of the haplogroups that were common among the Illyrians, yes. Thus, although E-V13 is not exclusively "Illyrian" but rather paleobalkanic in general, it was one of the main Illyrian y-DNA haplogroups. In addition to E-V13, the Illyrians probably possessed the haplogroup R1b, originating from the Indo-European which gave them their languages, to the Thracians and Greeks, and J2b, another Mediterranean Neolithic haplogroup common to today's Albanians, Greeks and Italians, among others. It is also worth mentioning that the three haplogroups so typical for today's Albanians have also been found in Neolithic and Bronze Age remains on the eastern coast of the Adriatic (ancient Illyria) ! : E1b1 (Haplogroup E) - R1b - J2b2 . - source : ( The genomic history of Southeast Europe ) However, research on genetics is not reliable because there are several hypotheses. However there is a reliable study on the anthropology (shape of the skull). Anthropology shows us the truth.👌 ( Albanians are Pelasgians = Illyrians, Thracians, etc ... = today Albanians ) Anthropology. The current Albanians have the particularity of having the highest cephalic index (85 to 90) in Europe (Hyperbrachycephaly/round head) and a pronounced planoccipitalia (flattening of the posterior and inferior wall of the skull). Ripley, in his classification system, considered the shape of the head as the most reliable index in the racial diagnosis. Jacque and Morgan (🇫🇷) affirms source : (l'humanité archéologique, Paris 1921): "The oldest archaeological documents that we have about these settlers lead us to think that their migration was made by coming from continental Europe, and that, during the fourth millennium before our era. Then would have intervened the Pelasgians 🇦🇱, bringing with them the knowledge of the metal. While occupying the European Helladia, these tribes would have advanced until the Islands and the Asian territories ... the other, the most recent, which would have been the author of the Mycenaean culture, and would be related to the tribes, which in these times, inhabited Thrace and the banks of the Danube . These settlers would not be Hellenes properly speaking, but Thraco-Phrygians ". This brachycephaly is, also, celke of the mountain dwellers " said to " round head " of the 5th or 4th millenium which populated, partly, the Near and Middle East such as Sumerians (not semitic people), Hittites, Elamites. This characteristic is confirmed by the archaeological excavations carried out in the oldest necropolises discovered in a very vast geographical space going from the High Danube to Asia Minor while passing by the Balkans and particularly the regions populated, currently, by populations of Pelasgians stock (Albanian ethnic group). To finish I make notice that, C.H and C.B hawes ( Crete, the forerunner of Greece, London 1909 ), have established marked anaologies between Albanian skulls. This discovery corroborates, once more, the Pelasgians-Illyrians origin of the populations, known as Dorian, originating in the North of Greece whereas, only, their leaders or kings, minority in the country (king of Sparta Agis IV, in the IIIrd s before JC, affirmed that there were three periecles for a Spartan), were of Semito-Egyptian origin as the many arguments prove it.
@@nikolasmaillis6862 First of all I open a parenthesis about the name of Albania or Albanians quoted by Strabo (around 58-21/25) in the 1st century BC and Claudius Ptolemy (around 100 - 170 AD) in the 2nd century AD. It derives from the name of an Illyrian tribe, the Albanoi, which was located around the city of Albanopolis (now Zgërdhesh located in the region of Krujë). Moreover, even today, a region of Albania, from the north of Tirana (between the rivers Mat and Erzen), is called Albëni (gheg dialect) or Arbëri (tosk dialect). But this name Albanoi with its various variants (Arbanites, Arvanites, Arvanitis, Arvanos, Arban, Arbani, Arbanon, Arnavuts, Arnauts, Arbëri, Arbër, Arbëni, Arbën, Albën, Albanois, or Albanians) really began to spread when the Albanian territories became a field of hostility and a buffer zone between Byzantines and the new Slavic invaders (Serbs, Croats etc.. ...) towards the beginning of the seventh century AD. Several writers of the eleventh century, including Michel Attaliate and Jean Skyltzes, have recounted this kind of confrontation and widely spoken of these Albanian mountain tribes. It is the Angevin chancelleries (Charles I of Anjou, brother of St Louis, proclaimed himself king of Albania in 1272) which, in the 13th century, conveyed the name of Albanian or Albanians, which spread rapidly, like wildfire, throughout Europe. It should be noted that the Albanians never use this name (Albanian) to designate their own ethnic group: they call themselves Shqiptar, that is to say son or child of the eagle.

@Vard X Skanderbeg used mountainous terrain of Albania to his advantage in order to defeat Ottomans. What will he do against hundreds of cannons stuck in a city?
@@heoknk3002 There actually the Ottoman Empire attack Kruja the fortress of Scanderbeg three times with 150.000,250.000 and 300.000-350.000 and again lost the Battle against Scanderbeg. 😂😂 Scanderbeg won over 30 differents Battles against Ottoman Empire. Gjergj Arianiti won 2 Battle against Ottomans. Albanians won several Battles against Ottoman Empire but we didnt crush them in all area of Ottoman Empire to give the deffinitiv attack and to end. Scanderbeg want to lead one great army against Ottoman Empire to destroy all Ottoman Empire but Scanderbeg was unluckly because Pope Piu die and the Great army was not created. If this Pope not die before to create the Great army nobody would talks about Ottoman Empire today.
Yeah we Bosniaks listen to this song as well. Great one. Skenderbeg is a spiritual father of all the Balkaners. May the foreign foot never steps on our lands again ❤⚜
Crazy to think that us Albanians are getting this much recognition after years of getting ignored by Europe and the west. I thank my ancestors for prevailing against all odds and still managing to save our culture and some of our territories even after being attacked on all fronts throughout history. I’m truly proud and blessed to share the same blood as my Albanian ancestors
And then Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent met Nikola Šubić Zrinski in 1566 and that did not go as planned. Europe will always have our swords and shields, as long as we're alive. Proud Balkaners stand as the bulwark of Europe.
Im from Finland and after listening to this song, I feel a sense of patriotism towards Albania that I never knew existed. Never been to Albania, but now it already feels like home.
And yet Skanderbeg has statues to his honor in almost every capital of Europe, and/or roads named after him. Europe, the old whore, knows what saved her though not deserving of it.

It was a schock for me because everything i was told to from serbian side was: albanian = muslim / friend of turks... but also seeing all this muslim albanians everywhere kinda confirmed my perception. Than i did my research i learned about the albanian résistance against the ottomans and also about skenderbeu. My view of albanians has collapsed.... I can see you are one of this few inteligent albanians who know their heritage and history.

I see every day how this mohammedan religion catapults us back into the middle ages. Take care, these are dark times
My friend, not every person who speaks Albanian is Albanian . They’re Turks heritage assimilated Albanian since the wars. Albanians throughout the history have been irreligious
The Battle of Albulena (2 September 1457) was the most glorious and the biggest victory of Albanian nation in its history where the Albanian king Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg defeated an Ottoman army of 80,000 soldiers with only 8,000-10,000 soldiers. The Albanians won the battle as a result of the Albanian attack on the Ottoman camp when they were unprepared for war. This resulted in a massacre of the Ottoman army by the Albanian army where more than 30,000 Ottoman soldiers were killed in the clash and thousand more were captured. This battle was also a big political victory for the Albanian League of Lezhë and for Skanderbeg, because many Ottoman commanders were captured, including the traitor Albanian prince and a commander of the Ottoman army, Hamza Kastrioi (nephew of Skanderbeg). With the capture of Hamza, he was imprisoned in the Kingdom of Naples. The Battle of Albulena also gave morale to the Europeans to continue to resist the Ottoman Empire and also more helps were sent to Skanderbeg. Glory to Skanderbeg! May his memory live for eternity!🇦🇱👑
@@duckyguy1147 Albania remained independent for like 40 years during Skanderbeg rule and his son for some time . with no real helps , only Kingdom of Hungary sent financial helps , priests and The Italian countries sent fancy clothes like venice did to skanderbeg . Other nations said they are too weak to help fight the Ottoman horde
@@FrenciHasanaj ok I agree but if other European nations also helped that 40 yrs would have changed into permanent freedom. Europeans would have claimed Albania from Turks.
Ottoman Empire came in Albania to occupy Kruja city three times with a very large armies 150.000,250.000 and 300.000-350.000 troops against 15.000-25.000 strong Albanians warriors! 🦅🇦🇱🦅🇦🇱🦅🇦🇱🦅🇦🇱🦅🇦🇱🦅

@@roy_mezz-awake2470 Yes the ancestors of the Albanians, the Illyrians have contributed enormously in the Roman/Byzantine Empire. The Illyrians 🇦🇱 contributed a lot to the Roman/Byzantine Empire 🦅 (Fearsome Warriors). Here is the list of Roman Emperors 🤴 of Illyrian origin (🇦🇱): - Justinian I - Justin I - Anastasius I - Marcianus - Valentinian II - Gratian - Valens - Valentinian I - Jovian - Constantius II - Constantine the Great - Maximianus "Herculius - Diocletian - Probus - Aurelian - Quintillus - Claudius II "Gothicus - Hostilianus - Decius Source 📜 : The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire: From the First Century A.D. to the Third by Edward N.

In Illyria (in the geographical sense) was indeed the most powerful of the Roman armies, in charge of watching over the Danube (nearly 12 legions, that is to say 130 000 men) ..
Skanderbeg himself Claimed he was Greek, descended from Pyrrhus of Epirus. Even the Turks referred to him as Skanderbeg, meaning Alexander, a Greek name. A great source on the appropriation of the Skanderbeg myth is Albanian identities: myth and history, USA: Indiana University Press, p. 43, written essays by an assortment of western academics, wherein they refer to Skanderbeg as “…an episode taken from medieval history was central for Albanian national mythology. In the absence of medieval kingdom or empire the Albanian nationalists choose Skanderbeg....” Italian, English and Swedish reports consider Skanderbeg Greek. Thus Italian A. Salvi in the tragedy (1718) refers to him as a Greek (Greco). The Englishman C. Randall in 1810 he calls a Greek Hero (Grecian Hero) and the Swedish Barrau initially and Rudbeck later (1835) consider C. Kastriotis Greek. The History of the French historian Paganel (Paganel: Histoire de Scanderbey), published in Paris in 1855 clearly refers to him as a Greek. Kastrioti (Greek name) wrote and spoke only Greek, Latin, and Turkish (which he learned at the ottoman court)--never Albanian- and the Turks and Europeans referred to him as a Greek hero and sovereign. Albanians never cared for him until some Albanian intelligentsia in the early 20th century wanted to now be identified as European instead of Turk so they appropriated him and even the Greek byzantine Double-headed Eagle. Albanians needed to distance themselves from the Ottomans, and Albania is mostly an Islamic nation and opposed Europe and Christians as Ottoman mercenaries for most of its history, so they wanted to find some connection with Europe and they appropriated a somewhat obscure medieval Greek nobleman forgotten by time to most people of the day, namely George Kastriotis. His grandfather father was Konstantinos (Greek name) and his father Ioannis (Greek for John). In fact the so-called Albanian nobles: Arianitis, Dukagjinis, Zaharias and Thopias, etc all have Greek names albeit slightly different spellings. Many held Byzantine Roman titles; Byzantine noble families as the area was an important waypoint on the Via Egnatia to the west through Dyrrachium, the Ancient Greek colony of Epidamnos and modern Durrës founded by ancient Greek colonists from Corinth and Corfu around the 7th century BC. The Byzantine emperor and chronicler Constantine VII Porphirogenithus, whose work "De Administrando Imperio" is a crucial primary source on early Middle age Balkan history, makes no mention of the existence of an Albanian people in the Balkans, yet goes in depth about Bulgarian and Serbian history.

Source : in is work "Skanderbeg" , p.20, published in Milan (Italy) in 1940. His mother ( Skanderbeg )came from the Muzaka family (Albanian) and not from the Brankovic family ... Father was Gjon Kastrioti, son of Pal Kastrioti. Mother was Voisava from the Muzaka-Family (as stated in the memoires of Gjon Muzaka written sometime before 1510) Documents from that time only state that she was an albanian. There are no serbian documents that state she was serbian. In his memoires Gjon Muzaka (before 1510) wrote that she is a muzaka. We only have two sources from that era that give us a hint of her origin. One is geographically and the other is ethnically . Geographic source: barleti wrote that it was from polog. Member of a noble house and tribal leader. Why tribal and not Serbian? First of all, the triballi were an ancient Thraco-Illyrian ( Albanian ) tribe. The same name was again used in the Middle Ages / Byzantine era for the inhabitants of the ancient tribal area. All the people who lived in this area were called triballi (Albanians, Bulgarians and Serbs). (And let's not forget that the Tribalians were Slavised for the majority ... But remained Thraco-Illyrian/Albanian in their blood ...) Today, the majority of Albanians in Macedonia live in the Polog region (the eastern part of Macedonia). Exemple : Appianus Alexandrinus (is a Greek historien of the Roman period) who qualified the Triballians of "Illyrian origin". Source : "historia Romana". Stephanus of Byzantium ( Great lexicographer of Constantinople, lived in the 6 th century), was written in the year 528-545, declares that the "Triballians are Illyrian. Source : From Urbibus and Populis. Other authors such as Strabo, Pliny, Ptolemy and Dion Cassius, state that the Triballians are of Thraco-Illyrian origin ( Pelasgians/Albanian ) Ethnical source: Gjon Muzaka wrote in his memoires that she was a muzaka. I think with the latter source we should conclude this whole discussion. As it is a very close source - chronological and physical. The person in this case Gjon Muzaka knew Voisava personally and he fought besides Skanderbeg and skanderbegs son. So he wouldnt dare to write something he would later regret right ? He wrote those memoires sometime before 1510 so basically before the book of barleti was printed.

The League of Lezhe is an incredibly overlooked part in Balkan history as a whole. Not only was it one of the last bastions of Ottoman resistance, but it was the first time in history in which the Albanian nobility came together under a unified presence.

@@nikolasmaillis6862 E-V13 (Haplogroup E) is one of the Haplogroups that were common among Illyrians, yes.
E-V13 as Haplogroup Y originated from the so-called Neolithic settlers, who entered the Balkans from Anatolia about 8500 years ago. These Neolithic settlers were the founders of the Minoan civilization, the first European civilization in history. They also played a major role in the ethnogenesis of the Mycenaeans, Greeks, Thracians, Dacians and Illyrians that followed.
E-V13 is one of the haplogroups that were common among the Illyrians, yes.
Thus, although E-V13 is not exclusively "Illyrian" but rather paleobalkanic in general, it was one of the main Illyrian y-DNA haplogroups. In addition to E-V13, the Illyrians probably possessed the haplogroup R1b, originating from the Indo-European which gave them their languages, to the Thracians and Greeks, and J2b, another Mediterranean Neolithic haplogroup common to today's Albanians, Greeks and Italians, among others.
It is also worth mentioning that the three haplogroups so typical for today's Albanians have also been found in Neolithic and Bronze Age remains on the eastern coast of the Adriatic (ancient Illyria) !
: E1b1 (Haplogroup E) - R1b - J2b2 .
- source : ( The genomic history of Southeast Europe )
However, research on genetics is not reliable because there are several hypotheses.
However there is a reliable study on the anthropology (shape of the skull).
Anthropology shows us the truth.👌 ( Albanians are Pelasgians = Illyrians, Thracians, etc ... = today Albanians )
Anthropology.
The current Albanians have the particularity of having the highest cephalic index (85 to 90) in Europe (Hyperbrachycephaly/round head) and a pronounced planoccipitalia (flattening of the posterior and inferior wall of the skull).
Ripley, in his classification system, considered the shape of the head as the most reliable index in the racial diagnosis.
Jacque and Morgan (🇫🇷) affirms source : (l'humanité archéologique, Paris 1921): "The oldest archaeological documents that we have about these settlers lead us to think that their migration was made by coming from continental Europe, and that, during the fourth millennium before our era.
Then would have intervened the Pelasgians 🇦🇱, bringing with them the knowledge of the metal. While occupying the European Helladia, these tribes would have advanced until the Islands and the Asian territories ... the other, the most recent, which would have been the author of the Mycenaean culture, and would be related to the tribes, which in these times, inhabited Thrace and the banks of the Danube .
These settlers would not be Hellenes properly speaking, but Thraco-Phrygians ".
This brachycephaly is, also, celke of the mountain dwellers " said to " round head " of the 5th or 4th millenium which populated, partly, the Near and Middle East such as Sumerians (not semitic people), Hittites, Elamites.
This characteristic is confirmed by the archaeological excavations carried out in the oldest necropolises discovered in a very vast geographical space going from the High Danube to Asia Minor while passing by the Balkans and particularly the regions populated, currently, by populations of Pelasgians stock (Albanian ethnic group).
To finish I make notice that, C.H and C.B hawes ( Crete, the forerunner of Greece, London 1909 ), have established marked anaologies between Albanian skulls.
This discovery corroborates, once more, the Pelasgians-Illyrians origin of the populations, known as Dorian, originating in the North of Greece whereas, only, their leaders or kings, minority in the country (king of Sparta Agis IV, in the IIIrd s before JC, affirmed that there were three periecles for a Spartan), were of Semito-Egyptian origin as the many arguments prove it.
@@nikolasmaillis6862 First of all I open a parenthesis about the name of Albania or Albanians quoted by Strabo (around 58-21/25) in the 1st century BC and Claudius Ptolemy (around 100 - 170 AD) in the 2nd century AD.
It derives from the name of an Illyrian tribe, the Albanoi, which was located around the city of Albanopolis (now Zgërdhesh located in the region of Krujë).
Moreover, even today, a region of Albania, from the north of Tirana (between the rivers Mat and Erzen), is called Albëni (gheg dialect) or Arbëri (tosk dialect).
But this name Albanoi with its various variants (Arbanites, Arvanites, Arvanitis, Arvanos, Arban, Arbani, Arbanon, Arnavuts, Arnauts, Arbëri, Arbër, Arbëni, Arbën, Albën, Albanois, or Albanians) really began to spread when the Albanian territories became a field of hostility and a buffer zone between Byzantines and the new Slavic invaders (Serbs, Croats etc.. ...) towards the beginning of the seventh century AD.
Several writers of the eleventh century, including Michel Attaliate and Jean Skyltzes, have recounted this kind of confrontation and widely spoken of these Albanian mountain tribes.
It is the Angevin chancelleries (Charles I of Anjou, brother of St Louis, proclaimed himself king of Albania in 1272) which, in the 13th century, conveyed the name of Albanian or Albanians, which spread rapidly, like wildfire, throughout Europe.
It should be noted that the Albanians never use this name (Albanian) to designate their own ethnic group: they call themselves Shqiptar, that is to say son or child of the eagle.

Scanderbeg won over 30 differents Battles against Ottoman Empire.
Gjergj Arianiti won 2 Battle against Ottomans.
Albanians won several Battles against Ottoman Empire but we didnt crush them in all area of Ottoman Empire to give the deffinitiv attack and to end.
Scanderbeg want to lead one great army against Ottoman Empire to destroy all Ottoman Empire but Scanderbeg was unluckly because Pope Piu die and the Great army was not created.
If this Pope not die before to create the Great army nobody would talks about Ottoman Empire today.

The Battle of Albulena (2 September 1457) was the most glorious and the biggest victory of Albanian nation in its history where the Albanian king Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg defeated an Ottoman army of 80,000 soldiers with only 8,000-10,000 soldiers. The Albanians won the battle as a result of the Albanian attack on the Ottoman camp when they were unprepared for war. This resulted in a massacre of the Ottoman army by the Albanian army where more than 30,000 Ottoman soldiers were killed in the clash and thousand more were captured. This battle was also a big political victory for the Albanian League of Lezhë and for Skanderbeg, because many Ottoman commanders were captured, including the traitor Albanian prince and a commander of the Ottoman army, Hamza Kastrioi (nephew of Skanderbeg). With the capture of Hamza, he was imprisoned in the Kingdom of Naples. The Battle of Albulena also gave morale to the Europeans to continue to resist the Ottoman Empire and also more helps were sent to Skanderbeg.
Glory to Skanderbeg! May his memory live for eternity!🇦🇱👑
What help other Europeans send, if they helped really with efforts, Albania would have become independent then.
@@duckyguy1147 Albania remained independent for like 40 years during Skanderbeg rule and his son for some time . with no real helps , only Kingdom of Hungary sent financial helps , priests and The Italian countries sent fancy clothes like venice did to skanderbeg . Other nations said they are too weak to help fight the Ottoman horde
@@FrenciHasanaj ok I agree but if other European nations also helped that 40 yrs would have changed into permanent freedom. Europeans would have claimed Albania from Turks.
Ottoman Empire came in Albania to occupy Kruja city three times with a very large armies 150.000,250.000 and 300.000-350.000 troops against 15.000-25.000 strong Albanians warriors!

They deal with a treaty of peace.
Our royal family was of Albanian descent 🇪🇬❤️🇦🇱
Edit: please stop arguing in the comments it’s Albanian DESCENT meaning Muhammad Ali’s ANCESTORS were Albanians. He was born in Greece. And the last king of Egypt lives in Switzerland now. The heir to Egypt’s throne married a member of the Afghan royal family. Egypt and Albania both were very rebellious against the ottomans, Egypt broke away for a short time through… methods. And Albania because Serbia, Bulgaria, Russia, Montenegro, and Greece beat the hell out of the ottomans.
It's because Ali pasha was a great leader for Egypt, but I remember the first time someone told me that I didn't believe it at all haha, anyways love you guys in Egypt from Albania! 🇦🇱♥️🇪🇬
Muhammad Ali Pasha was definitely Albanian breed similar to Skanderbeg. We Albanians sometimes sting very hard ;)
@@lindihoxha8580 he was indeed, he made Egypt an African economic power! His influence still lives on to this day, and his descendants are still alive, his dynasty (the Muhammad Ali dynasty) ruled Egypt from the 1800s to 1952 when we overthrew them

He is a Turkish-trained commander and also often fought on the side of the Turks. With the tactics he learned from the Turks, he ambushed several thousand Turkish soldiers just as the Turks did to them. As a result, his castle was razed to the ground by the "Greek slayer" Sultan Mehmet and all Albanian-Venetian soldiers were killed.

Your ottoman empire killed 30 thousands Man in Albania and took more than 130k kids for their army and 12 old girls for their harems. Rape and slave women's and Man. So stay to your turkey who is so democraticall. Your turkey didn't allow Albania to be independent, your Turkey didn't allow Albanians to speak Albanian have school or go to Church in their language. So stay there your ancestors in Kosovo who fought the ottomans are proud of you.

Source 📜 : The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire: From the First Century A.D. to the Third by Edward N. Luttwak, page 178, "high-grade cavalry (equites Illyriciani)"
This region was late Romanized. It was famous for its excellent soldiers, frustrated but courageous. In Illyria (in the geographical sense) was indeed the most powerful of the Roman armies, in charge of watching over the Danube (nearly 12 legions, that is to say 130 000 men) ..
Skanderbeg himself Claimed he was Greek, descended from Pyrrhus of Epirus. Even the Turks referred to him as Skanderbeg, meaning Alexander, a Greek name. A great source on the appropriation of the Skanderbeg myth is Albanian identities: myth and history, USA: Indiana University Press, p. 43, written essays by an assortment of western academics, wherein they refer to Skanderbeg as
“…an episode taken from medieval history was central for Albanian national mythology. In the absence of medieval kingdom or empire the Albanian nationalists choose Skanderbeg....”
Italian, English and Swedish reports consider Skanderbeg Greek. Thus Italian A. Salvi in the tragedy (1718) refers to him as a Greek (Greco). The Englishman C. Randall in 1810 he calls a Greek Hero (Grecian Hero) and the Swedish Barrau initially and Rudbeck later (1835) consider C. Kastriotis Greek. The History of the French historian Paganel (Paganel: Histoire de Scanderbey), published in Paris in 1855 clearly refers to him as a Greek.
Kastrioti (Greek name) wrote and spoke only Greek, Latin, and Turkish (which he learned at the ottoman court)--never Albanian- and the Turks and Europeans referred to him as a Greek hero and sovereign. Albanians never cared for him until some Albanian intelligentsia in the early 20th century wanted to now be identified as European instead of Turk so they appropriated him and even the Greek byzantine Double-headed Eagle. Albanians needed to distance themselves from the Ottomans, and Albania is mostly an Islamic nation and opposed Europe and Christians as Ottoman mercenaries for most of its history, so they wanted to find some connection with Europe and they appropriated a somewhat obscure medieval Greek nobleman forgotten by time to most people of the day, namely George Kastriotis. His grandfather father was Konstantinos (Greek name) and his father Ioannis (Greek for John).
In fact the so-called Albanian nobles: Arianitis, Dukagjinis, Zaharias and Thopias, etc all have Greek names albeit slightly different spellings. Many held Byzantine Roman titles; Byzantine noble families as the area was an important waypoint on the Via Egnatia to the west through Dyrrachium, the Ancient Greek colony of Epidamnos and modern Durrës founded by ancient Greek colonists from Corinth and Corfu around the 7th century BC.
The Byzantine emperor and chronicler Constantine VII Porphirogenithus, whose work "De Administrando Imperio" is a crucial primary source on early Middle age Balkan history, makes no mention of the existence of an Albanian people in the Balkans, yet goes in depth about Bulgarian and Serbian history.

Even the Serbs of the time considered Skanderbeg as Albanian, his father (Gjon) was buried in an Orthodox monastery, the Serbs named the tower where he is buried "Albanian tower 🇦🇱"...
source : ( Himelstir. p. 45 )
Moreover, even the descendants of Skanderbeg from the Arbëresh community qualify as Albanians 🇦🇱 and not as Serbs ...
Example : Shopie Castriota, loris Castriota etc ...
Alessandro Cutolo ( Italian historian ) :
" Gjon ( father of Skanderbeg ) married Princess Vojsava, the daughter of another excellent Albanian🇦🇱 leader, the Lord of Polog " .
Source : in is work "Skanderbeg" , p.20, published in Milan (Italy) in 1940.
His mother ( Skanderbeg )came from the Muzaka family (Albanian) and not from the Brankovic family ...
Father was Gjon Kastrioti, son of Pal Kastrioti. Mother was Voisava from the Muzaka-Family (as stated in the memoires of Gjon Muzaka written sometime before 1510)
Documents from that time only state that she was an albanian.
There are no serbian documents that state she was serbian. In his memoires Gjon Muzaka (before 1510) wrote that she is a muzaka.
We only have two sources from that era that give us a hint of her origin. One is geographically and the other is ethnically .
Geographic source:
barleti wrote that it was from polog. Member of a noble house and tribal leader.
Why tribal and not Serbian?
First of all, the triballi were an ancient Thraco-Illyrian ( Albanian ) tribe.
The same name was again used in the Middle Ages / Byzantine era for the inhabitants of the ancient tribal area.
All the people who lived in this area were called triballi (Albanians, Bulgarians and Serbs).
(And let's not forget that the Tribalians were Slavised for the majority ...
But remained Thraco-Illyrian/Albanian in their blood ...)
Today, the majority of Albanians in Macedonia live in the Polog region (the eastern part of Macedonia).
Exemple :
Appianus Alexandrinus (is a Greek historien of the Roman period) who qualified the Triballians of "Illyrian origin".
Source : "historia Romana".
Stephanus of Byzantium ( Great lexicographer of Constantinople, lived in the 6 th century), was written in the year 528-545, declares that the "Triballians are Illyrian.
Source : From Urbibus and Populis.
Other authors such as Strabo, Pliny, Ptolemy and Dion Cassius, state that the Triballians are of Thraco-Illyrian origin ( Pelasgians/Albanian )
Ethnical source:
Gjon Muzaka wrote in his memoires that she was a muzaka.
I think with the latter source we should conclude this whole discussion.
As it is a very close source - chronological and physical. The person in this case Gjon Muzaka knew Voisava personally and he fought besides Skanderbeg and skanderbegs son.
So he wouldnt dare to write something he would later regret right ? He wrote those memoires sometime before 1510 so basically before the book of barleti was printed.
