Skanderbeg, born Gjergj Kastrioti, was an Albanian noble who led a remarkable resistance against the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century.

For over two decades, Skanderbeg waged guerrilla warfare against the vastly superior Ottoman forces, securing numerous victories and protecting Christian Europe’s southeastern flank.
