Albania Under The Serbian Empire

Albania Under The Serbian Empire

After the weakening of the Byzantine Empire and the Bulgarian Empire in the middle and late 13th century, most of the territory of modern-day Albania became part of Serbia. Firstly, as part of Serbian Grand Principality and later as part of Serbian Empire. The southern part was governed by the semi-independent, Serbian-ruled Despotate of Epirus. Along with the Serbian-ruled Albania, there was also an Albanian state, the Principality of Arbër, and later the Kingdom of Albania. These three entities cover the history of Albania between the late 12th century until the late 14th century, when Albanian Principalities were created through all Albania.

    Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty, and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”
