Principality of Albania (Thopia)

Karl Thopia, styling himself princeps Albaniae, held central Albania between the Mat and the Shkumbin from 1359 and took Durrës from the Angevins in 1368 (lost briefly to the Navarrese in 1376 and to Balša II in 1383–85). His son Gjergj gave Durrës to Venice in 1392, after which the Thopia kept only Krujë and its hinterland.
