Skanderbeg
Gjergj Kastrioti (6 May 1405 – 17 January 1468), known as Skanderbeg (or "Skënderbeu" from), was an Albanian nobleman and military commander who led a rebellion against the Ottoman Empire in what is today Albania, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia.
A member of the noble Kastrioti family, he was sent to the Ottoman court as hostage, where he was educated and entered the service of the Ottoman sultan for the next twenty years.
He rose through the ranks, culminating in the appointment as "sanjakbey" (governor) of the Sanjak of Dibra in 1440.
In 1443, he deserted the Ottomans during the Battle of Niš and became the ruler of Krujë, Svetigrad, and Modrič.
In 1444, he was appointed the chief commander of the short-lived League of Lezhë that consolidated nobility throughout what is today Northern Albania.
Thus, for the first time Albania was united under a single leader.
Skanderbeg's rebellion was not a general uprising of Albanians, because he did not gain support in the Venetian-controlled north or in the Ottoman-controlled south.
His followers included, apart from Albanians, also Slavs, Vlachs, and Greeks.
Despite this military valor he was not able to do more than to hold his own possessions within the very small area in nowadays northern Albania where almost all of his victories against the Ottomans took place.
His rebellion was a national rebellion.
The resistance led by him brought Albanians of different regions and dialects together in a common cause, helping define the ethnic identity of the Albanians.
Skanderbeg's military skills presented a major obstacle to Ottoman expansion, and he was considered by many in western Europe to be a model of Christian resistance against Muslims.
For 25 years, from 1443 to 1468, Skanderbeg's 10,000 man army marched through Ottoman territory winning against consistently larger and better supplied Ottoman forces, for which he was admired.
Skanderbeg always signed himself in ("Lord of Albania"), and claimed no other titles but that in documents.
In 1451, he recognized "de jure" the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Naples over Albania through the Treaty of Gaeta, to ensure a protective alliance, although he remained a "de facto" independent ruler.
In 1460–61, he participated in Italy's civil wars in support of Ferdinand I of Naples.
In 1463, he became the chief commander of the crusading forces of Pope Pius II, but the Pope died while the armies were still gathering.
Together with Venetians he fought against the Ottomans during the Ottoman–Venetian War (1463–1479) until his death in January 1468.
He ranks high in that military history, as the most persistent opponent of the Ottoman Empire in its heyday who was also ever-victorious.
Voisava
Voisava( 1402 – 05) was the wife of Gjon Kastrioti( 1386 – d. 1437), a nobleman with whom she had nine children, one of whom was the most powerful Albanian nobleman in history, regarded a national hero, George Kastrioti" Skanderbeg"( 1405 – 1468).
She is mentioned in passing in two sources from the start of the 16th century.
The first source, a biography on her son, mentions her as the daughter of a" Triballian nobleman", which is interpreted as her being Serbian, modern scholars pointing to the Branković dynasty.
Her name is Slavic, as are several of her children's names.

Gjon Kastrioti II
John Castriot II (1456–1502), was the son of Skanderbeg, the Albanian national hero, and of Donika Kastrioti, daughter of Gjergj Arianiti.
He was for a short time Lord of Kruja after his father death, Duke of San Pietro in Galatina (1485), Count of Soleto, Signore of Monte Sant'Angelo and San Giovanni Rotondo.
In 1495 Ferdinand I of Naples gave the title of the Signore of Gagliano del Capo and Oria.
While in his teens he was forced to leave the country after the death of his father in 1468.
He is known also for his role in the Albanian uprising of 1481, when, after reaching the Albanian coast from Italy settling in Himara, he tried to struggle against the Ottomans.
In June 1481 he supported forces of Ivan Crnojević to successfully recapture Zeta from Ottomans.
He was unable to re-establish the Kastriot principality and liberate Albania from the Ottomans, and he retired in Italy after three years of war in 1484.
