view · edit Frequently asked questions Q1: Was Skanderbeg Albanian? A1: Yes, Skanderbeg was an Albanian feudal lord from the Albanian House of Kastrioti. Q2: What language did they speak in Albania during Skanderbeg's lifetime? A2: Skanderbeg's native language was Albanian. In the Balkans Italian, Greek, Vlach, Latin, South Slavic languages and Ottoman Turkish were also common during Skanderbeg's lifetime. Q3: What was the background of Skanderbeg's mother? A3: Primary sources refer to her as being from Polog, most likely being the Polog valley in modern day North Macedonia. It has also been argued that another Polog, closer to the town of Bitola in the plain of Pelagonia may be the location of the Polog mentioned by Barleti. There is debate among different scholars of whether Skanderbeg's mother was related to the Muzaka family, most likely of Albanian descent, or of the Serb Branković dynasty, or of an unknown Bulgarian family. There is, however, no mention of Voisava on the Branković dynasty family tree. Q4: Was Skanderbeg a Roman Catholic? A4: Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg was a Roman Catholic in the period from 1444 to his death in 1468. In the period prior to 1444, he had converted to Islam. The exact date of his conversion is unclear but it must have been between 1426 and 1431. His father, Gjon Kastrioti changed his religion several times (Roman Catholic/Christian Orthodox/Muslim). Q5: What was Skanderbeg's real name and who were his parents? A5: His real name was Gjergj Kastrioti, Gjergj is the Albanian version of the name George. His father was Gjon Kastrioti and his mother's name was Voisava Kastrioti

Removed "general uprising" comment

I have removed the following comment: "Skanderbeg's rebellion was not considered a general uprising of all Albanians because he did not gain support from Albanians in Venetian-controlled areas or in the recently subdued Ottoman-controlled south." The reasons I've removed it:

1. It's not relevant to Skanderbeg's opening biography specifically. If such a comment were to be included, it should be in Skanderbeg's rebellion (as it already is).
2. The comment is quite misleading and partially false. The goal of the rebellion was not to expel Venice but rather the Ottomans, therefore the support of Albanians in Albania Veneta was not required or even desired. The League only went to war with Venice once for a brief period. Therefore, the comment that the Venetian controlled north did not rise up seems pointless, even more so when you consider that the Venetians sent men to aid the Albanians, and, ironically enough, it is extremely likely that some of the men they sent were from Albania Veneta. Further, the rebellion was entirely orchestrated by Albanian nobleman, it was not just local uprisings, which makes the inclusion of the sentence even more dubious, as you would not have expected an uprising without the direction of Albanian nobelman, who did not try to take Venetian territories, bar the aforementioned war. The second claim, that he did not have support in Southern Albania, is blatantly false:
- The Arianiti (Gjergj Arianiti) and Muzaka (Theodor Corona Musachi) had lands in the south and were Central/Southern Albanian noblemen, with forces (naturally) made up of Middle Albanians and Tosks, who supported the League. These were formerly Ottoman controlled territories until 1443/1444.
- the lands around Berat (in South Albania) came under the League's control. Which is clear from the Siege of Berat in 1455, and because they are part of the Muzaka's domains.
- It's stated in the article that Skanderbeg took control over the former possessions of the Zenevisi (South Albania). Also formerly Ottoman held. Additionally, as per John Zenevisi#Descendants and Simon Zenevisi, the Zenevisi were allied to Skanderbeg and Venice in 1455, and held Kastrovillari near Butrint in Southern Albania.
- "both sides of the Tomor mountains" (in Southern Albania) supported Skanderbeg. Also formerly Ottoman held.
- As per Himara#Ottoman period, the Himariotes in Southern Albania took part in Skanderbeg's rebellion.

Because of this, I believe it's clear that the claim Albanians in the Ottoman-controlled South did not rise up is false, and as the comment regarding Venetian controlled territories is irrelevant, and the intent of the sentence appears to be viewing the war through the lense of modern ethnic uprisings, I have removed the sentence.
