Gjon Kastrioti or John Castriota[a] (died 4 May 1437[4]) was an Albanian nobleman, member of the Kastrioti family, and the father of Skanderbeg.

Life

Like other noblemen from Albania, Gjon also became Ottoman vassal after 1385.[5] In 1402 together with other Ottoman vassals from Albania he supported Bayezid I in the Battle of Ankara.[6] Gjon Kastrioti was made a citizen of Venice in 1413, along with his inheritors.[7]

In period 1419—1426 Gjon was ally of Stefan Lazarević, Ottoman vassal and despot of Serbian Despotate. When Lazarevic besieged Scutari, probably in June 1422, he was supported by forces of Gjon Kastrioti, whose men left despot's forces after being defeated by the Venetian garrison supported by some local Albanian volunteers.[8][9]

On February 25, 1420 Gjon Kastriot wrote a letter in the Serbian language to merchants from Ragusa (Dubrovnik). Based on the order of the despot of Serbia, when they would travel from Ragusa to Prizren they had to use the route trough Shkodër in Albania Veneta and the Kastriot's land instead of the previous route trough the land under control of the small feudal lords and highland tribes of Montenegro.[10] With that letter Gjon informed merchants from Dubrovnik that they were granted safe conduct when passing the land under his control, on their way from Shufadaj to Prizren.[11]

From time to time one or more of Gjon's sons were sent as a hostages to Ottoman court. This way Kastrioti, blackmailed through his sons would be faithful to the Empire. In 1426 he donated the right to the proceeds from taxes collected from the two villages (Rostuša and Trebište in Macedonia) and from the church of Saint Mary, which was in one of them, to the Serbian Orthodox Monastery of Hilandar in Mount Athos where his son Reposh retired and died in 25 July 1431: in his honor the Saint George tower of Monastery of Hilandar was known as the Albanian tower (Serbian: Arbanaški pirg).[12][13][14] In 1928 Gjon Kastrioti had to seek forgiveness from the Venetian Senate because of Skanderbeg's participation in Ottoman military campaigns against Christians.[15] At the beginning of the 15th century Šufaday (important former marketplace on the Adriatic sea, near Lezhe) was possesion of Jonima family and in 1428 it was under Gjon's control.[16] At that time Šufadaj was rich with forests and the wood was transported trough its port to Ragusa.[17]

In 1430's Gjon Kastrioti joined an unsuccessful uprising against the Ottoman Empire led by Gjergj Arianiti. Gjon was again defeated by the Ottoman forces of Isak-Beg.

After Gjon's death in 1437[4] his son Skanderbeg was appointed as subaşi of Kruja in 1438. The territory previously controlled by Gjon Kastrioti was annexed by the Ottomans and listed in their registers as land of Yuvan-ili (Yuvan was Gjon's name on Turkish language).[18] Until 1438 a part of Gjon Kastrioti's estates comprising nine villages was awarded to Skanderbeg as his timar and in May 1438 those nine villages had been awarded to André Karlo.[19] The granting of these villages to André Karlo must have upset Skanderbeg[20] who requested to be granted with control over the zeamet in Misia consisting of his father's former domain.[21] Sanjakbey (probably of the Sanjak of Ohrid) objected Skanderbeg's request.[22]

Personal

Family

Gjon's father was Pal Kastrioti. At the end of 14th century Pal had the title "segnior de Signa et de Gardi-ipostesi" (Sina (Albanian: Sinë) and Lower Gardi (Albanian: Gardhi i Poshtëm)) because he ruled over those two villages.[23][24] Two villages he governed were located on the mountain of Qidhna northwest of Debar.[25]

He married Vojsava Tripalda[26] from Lower Polog (area around present day Tetovo,[citation needed] Macedonia) and had nine children with her: four sons and five daughters. The sons' names were Stanisha, Reposh, Kostandin, and George (Skanderbeg). The oldest daughter of Gjon Kastrioti, Maria Kastrioti, also called Mamica, married Muzakë Topia. Gjon Kastrioti was also the name of the grandson through George Kastrioti.

Religion

His religion was directly influenced by the international balance of political powers. It is believed that a popular saying in southern Albania "Where the sword is, there lies religion" (Albanian: Ku është shpata, është feja) have originated from Gjon Kastrioti.[27] When he was an ally of Venice, in period 1407—1410, he was Roman Catholic. After he allied himself with Stefan Lazarević, despot of Serbian Despotate in period 1419—1426, he converted to Orthodoxy, and in 1431 he was converted to Islam because of he was a vassal of the Ottoman Empire.[28] According to Noli, he died Roman Catholic.[29] According to the archives of the Hilandar monastery on Mount Athos, he took monastic vows there and received the name Joachim, becoming an Orthodox monk, where he died.[30]

Notes

  1. ^
    In the documentary acts of the time, Scanderbeg's father is variously called Iohannes, Janus, Iouan, Ioannis, Yuan, Ivan, Yuvan, etc.[31] Gjon Muzaka – or Giovanni Musachi, who by the way knew him and his family well – in his Breve memoria de li discendenti de nostra casa Musachi, written in Italian, calls him Giovanni. Giovanni is also used by Demetrio Franco. Barleti, who wrote in Latin, calls him Iohannes. In the few acts of his own chancellery, his name results Ivan or Ivanъ. It is possible that these acts were written by Ninac Vukosalić.[32][33] Besides the acts in Slavonic, Ivan is used by some Byzantine chroniclers, like Laonicus Chalcocondyles[34] and many works written by the contemporary scholars. Also, interesting is a testimony from Franciscus Blancus, who lived and wrote two centuries after Gjon Kastrioti's time: In his Apology, he writes about two "heroes" of his own time from the Kastrati family, one Muslim called Isuf bey, and the other Gjon "i.e. in Latin Iohannis Kastrati".[35] This same author, knowing the difference Gjon/Iohannis, specifically calls Skanderbeg's father by his Latin name.

    La note en question, datée 1438, ne laisse subsister aucun doute que c'est autour de cette date que ces terres avaient été cadastrées. Les neuf villages en question, compte tenu qu'ils se trouvaient sur le Registre de Yuvan-ili (Jean Kastriote), sont du domaine du père de Skanderbeg. L'octroi de ces villages à André Karlo doit avoir fâché Skanderbeg. Quoique l'Etat ottoman considérât ces terres des domaines d'Etat attribuables en timar, pour Skanderbeg il s'agissait des domaines seigneuriaux de son père. (The note, dated 1438, leaves no doubt that it is around this date that the land had been surveyed and registered. As the nine villages were listed on the Register of Yuvan-ili (John Kastrioti), they were definitely part of Skanderbeg's father's land. The granting of these villages to André Karlo must have upset Skanderbeg. Although the Ottoman state regarded these as areas of state land as Skanderbeg's Timar holding, these were in fact the fiefs of his father.)
