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.

    The foundation of empire is art & science. Remove them or degrade them, & the empire is no more. Empire follows art & not vice versa as Englishmen suppose.
