After Ottoman victory in the Battle of Savra in 1385, the territory of Albania went out of the control of Balšić family. At the end of 14th century Jonima family reappears in sources when Dhimitër Jonima was lord of a territory between Mat and Lezhë. Dukagjini family and Jonima family struggled against each other for the territory on the both sides of river Drin while Kastrioti family soon challenged the rule of Dukagjini family over the territory between Mati and Drin. In 1402, as one of the Albanian nobility that served as an Ottoman vassal, Dhimitër Jonima fought alongside Bayezid I forces at the Battle of Ankara.
