Siege of Kruje 1450
Important Notice: This is my 100th video on this channel, including shorts. Thanks for your support and keep watching for more content.
In the mid 1440’s Gjergj Kastrioti, better known as Skanderbeg, along with 300 other Albanians deserted the Ottoman army and went back to their homeland of Albania. Then using a forged letter took control of Kruje, then soon after gathered his forces.
Among those who joined the military alliance were the powerful Albanian noble families. This marked the first time much of Albania was united under a single leader, and under a banner that would later become Albania’s flag.
Skanderbeg and the League of Lezhë would achieve several victories over the Ottomans at Torvioll, Mokra, Otonetë and Oranik. This Albanian Rebellion so frustrated the Turks that the Sultan himself lead an invasion into Albanian territory. Specifically towards Kruje.
Special thanks to @Albaniabydrone4K for letting me use some of his drone footage of Kruje. Also thanks to @mustbefunny1007 for footage from the 1953 movie “The Great Warrior Skanderbeg” it really helped a lot.
