From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rebellion in southern Albania or Uprising of Andrea Thopia was rebellion in against Ottoman Empire which took place in southern Albania in period 1432—1439.

After the Battle of Savra in 1385 the region of Albania became under strong Ottoman influence and gradually most of its territory was annexed to Ottoman Empire within separate administrative unit: the Sanjak of Albania.

Rebellion started when the false news of the death of Ottoman sultan Murad reached Albania.[1] Andrea Thopia revolted against Ottoman rule in 1432 and defeated a small Ottoman military unit in the mountains of Central Albania. His victory inspired other chieftains in Albania, especially Gjergj Arianiti, to rebel against the Ottomans.[2]

The uprising covered region of the coastal plain between Shkumbin and Erzen extending to the the part of the vilayet of Kruje on the north.[3] Gjon Kastrioti was among the noblemen from Albania that joined rebellion. Although Skanderbeg was summoned home by his relatives to join the rebellion, he did nothing, remaining loyal to the sultan.[4]
