Albanian Principalities - Princedom of Albania

Princedom of Albania (1368–1443) was an Albanian Principality formed after the disestablishment of Kingdom of Albania, by Karl Thopia. The principality changed hands between the Thopia dynasty and the Balsha dynasty, until 1392, when it was occupied by the Ottoman Empire. When Skanderbeg liberated Kruja and reorganised the Principality of Kastrioti, the descendant of Gjergj Thopia, Andrea II Thopia, managed to regain control of the princedom. Finally, it was united with other Albanian principalities forming the League of Lezha in 1444.
