Today's video is dedicated to one of the most consequential Albanians of history. We travel to Kruje, a city just north of Tirana to tell the tale of Skanderbeg. His bravery and love for his homeland was one of the factors in the halt of Ottoman progress through Europe in the mid 1400's. Without Skanderbeg, the world may look very differently! Come learn about an important figure that changed your life in more ways than one!

Albanians to be proud of Skenderbeu and mother Teresa🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
What a Hero. Thank you for saving Europe
@ Queenly - ...and Europe betrayed Albanians at the end
Djuradj Kastriot - Skenderbeg was a Serbian, his father vas Jovan, mother Voisava and most of them were buried in the Hilandar Monastery, the Serbian Orthodox Church (Athos, Greece).
Albanians do not have their own heroes because the tribes were brought in recent history. All buildings and monasteries were built by Serbian rulers.
@@brankapetronijevic6531 Gjergj Kastrioti was an Albanian, his father Gjon was an Albanian his mother’s(Voisava’s) origin is not known some say she was a Serb some Bulgarian and some say she was an Albanian. Yes his father was buried in the hilandar in the so called “Albanian tower” named by Serbian monks.
And not even going to talk about the BS in your last parts lmfao.
The monastery of hilandar was given to the Serbs by the Orthodox Patriarchate in the 17th-18th centuries. The monastery was Albanian and there are still frescoes in Albanian with the Hellenic alphabet as well as the main tower where Albanian knights are buried as the father of George Kastrioti bears the name of the Tower is Albanians Tower

A well informed and well made video about little piece of history that hasn’t had the attention it deserves.
Appreciate that!

Albania seems like an amazing hidden gem in Europe, plus I could jam to that music all day! Very interesting figure in history in which I had never heard of as well. I would destroy that offal in cheese. #goatee
haha yeah dude not my best look!!!

I'm here from Reddit, really really great video!
Thanks so much Margot! If you could share it that would be great!
Here from reddit. Very good video. Keep doing thse albanian videos and you will probably get a lot of views and subs from albanians. We really welcome tourism. It is good hearing that non albanians are learning about our history and who we are
Thanks so much! If you could share it, that would be awesome! Welcome to the channel!
90% of ur history was good bro. But there’s more to add. Skanderbeg was much much greater than you described it.
Kosovo is Serbia
@Brian He didn't
@Brian I don't think he did ;)
@@tomestojanovski4498keep dreaming
Skanderbeg with only 8000 soldiers kept the ottomans away for 25 years while ottomans always attacked albania with 100.000 soldiers, this guy is very important for Europe . Just think if skanderbeg was on ottoman side leading the ottoman garnisons he would invade Europe in one single year alone.
Why you use macedonian sun in the background?
@@Makedon9 because it’s Albanian 🇦🇱🇦🇱
@@trollshqipe4684
Ahahha yes is albanian !
You use eagle that is not yours as symbol, and now you want also macedonian sun ? 😂
I know we have very nice flag!
Macedonian isn’t a state at all is only a mix of Albanians bulgars and hellens !
Alexander the Great son of Philip was from petrella origin , go read the truth in Vatican and Rome don’t read shit of fake states like Macedonia etc , Skopje was 100% Albanians
@@aviationfansalbania2332
Mixed is your brain!
Go and see census if Skopje was albanian.
Albanians in Skopje are 15% and will became less because every macedonian from other cities go to live there !
Great histories ✌️💙
Thanks for watching!
I would love to see a video from you visiting Lezha where Skanderbeg is resting in peace
Great video good luck for the future ❤️
I have a video on Lezhe! Check it out!
Great video 🇦🇱❤️🙌🏻 respect from Milano Italy ✌🏻
Thank you 🙌
You got my like and subscribe, faleminderit for telling little bit of our history but spot on well done ✅
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video , super cool and you'd definitely pass the Albanian Citizenship test LOL Gezuar 🇺🇸🇦🇱🙏
Great video, i see a lot of vlogs and you are doing a great job. You actually take your time to get informed about the subject and that is rare. Keep up the good work
my guy, big up to you. You're doing this series the right way... telling it like it IS! Your approach is realistic and refreshing. It seems you've done relevant research and hopefully you continue to portray your travels in the same way. If you like Albania and the Balkans in Winter/Autumn, Im guessing you will go crazy in Summer, its much busier, roads are more jammed, accommodation is more expensive but the atmosphere is electric. Perhaps check it out in the future.
Regards from Australia
I appreciate that!
very interesting video, you're welcome in Albania
thanks mate!
Thanks for the history lesson, it was very interesting. Nice video👍👍👍
Clicked because of my national hero subscribed for the quality content. What cool guy
Great video man! Thank you for your interest and for sharing it with us. Well done. There so many statues and memorial plaques of Skënderbe around the world.
Brother there is so much truth that has been hidden over the centuries to erase the Albanian language... still to this day. Purposely done.
Pellazgian Illyrian Albanians have been in that part of the world before there was anyone else! Before even there existed anyone else. Before Romans and whoever else. Please do not take my word for it though, just read literature from Albanologist historians around the world. You will find things that will “blow your mind” beyond fascinating. Facts hidden to conceal the truth. But this is the century of the Albanian truth to come out. Truth always shines!
The Albanian language is obviously the oldest on IndoEuropean That’s why it has its own branch. Basically all of Europe and even further than that are actually speaking Albanian and they don’t even know it... Search and you shall find, if you wish my friend.
Enjoy it to the fullest. Respect. 👐🏻
thanks!

Albania - Skanderbeg
Poland - Sobieski Vienna 1683 🇵🇱🤝🇦🇱
Respect .
What I have noticed with your videos is that you love history and try to give the viewer a rough outline of the history behind each place you visit. I too love it, almost as much as I love Romance languages. What is disappointing is that you get so few views. History, unfortunately doesn't sell.
thanks for watching and commenting Ray!
You're just getting started, your hard work will pay off. I just found you and I'm impressed.
i love Albania
Albania, the historical land of the Crusaders and the defenders of Rome. It’s only appropriate that our national flag is actually a Roman war flag, look it up. The double headed eagle is a later Roman symbol (Byzantine) and the black version on a red background was mainly used at warfare by Romans but it later came to signify Albanians as a people since Skanderbeg used it and United all Albanians around it. Skanderbeg was considered the shield of Europe by the Ottomans and he has a statue of himself in most western capitals. Not a wonder the Turks and the Orthodox subjugated us so hard, when we were the true defenders of Western Europe. Loved this video, much thanks. 🙏🤝🇦🇱🇺🇸🇻🇦
very good video, thanks for this video show to the world .
🇦🇱🇺🇸
Every European capital city has got a major street or square named after Scanderbeg.
Even Serbia which is pretty much an enemy of the Albanian people, has got a major street in the centre of Belgrade named after Scanderbeg.
"Skenderbegova ulica". (Look it up on Google maps)
In Bulgaria and Hungary one of the most important lessons pupils in primary school are taught is Scanderbeg, and how he led a small country to successfully defeat the greatest military power of his time, the Ottoman empire.
Scanderbeg is used as motivation for the kids to teach them not to be scared when facing major adversity.
Even today's turks greatly respect the figure of Scanderbeg.
Because he beat them fair and square and so they respect that.
If they come across an exceptionally angry or stubborn person, they have a saying in Turkey:
"As angry as an Albanian."
"Arnavut inati" 😅 🇦🇱 🇹🇷
A turkish CZcamsr namend Harp Tahiri has uploaded a very interesting video about Scanderbeg battles against the Ottomans.
The video title is "Arnavutluk Fethi"
It is an interesting video because it portrays Scanderbeg's battles against the Ottomans from the Ottomans perspective. ✌🇦🇱
@Souliotis - What is so funny about that?
@Souliotis - Majority of Albanians are against mosques.
Governments cause these problems for the everyday people.
Your government and politicians in Greece have done the same thing to the people of Greece.
Albania is in the same situation.
@Souliotis - The thing with you greeks, serb, russians, ect, you claim that you do not like a country like Albania because of muslim population.
However this is a major lie! Ye do not care about religion! Ye only care about satisfying your territorial greed.
Greece attacked Bulgaria, an Christian orthodox country, in WWI. And has been hostile and has territorial claims against North Macedonia, another Christian orthodox country.
Serbia has been hostile and attacked Slovenia, and Croatia both Christian countries.
Russia has attacked and invaded Georgia, and Ukraine, both Christian countries.
So don't come here acting like some kind of Christian Saint complaining about mosques.
The real motivation for your hostility towards Albania is foolish territorial greed.
@Souliotis - I wrote you a "nice" reply but unfortunately CZcams automatic comment police deleted it.
So it seems I can't communicate with you "properly" here on CZcams.
So I won't bother with you anymore. So ropt ne pidh jorgo!
Never been to kruje but I'm waiting for driving license so i can make a car trip there kruje is my holyplace
Now you know why we ar so proud of this lovely flag 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
you are very good at informing very nice video thanks for sharing this with us,I wish you success
Thank you excellent video really enjoyed it 👍
That meat dish with yogurt sauce looked delicious!
Glad you enjoyed it
Good effort, a few inaccuracies: The roman who spread christianity and made it legal within the empire was Constantine the Great. He was illyrian (proto-albanian) from Nis (today's serbia) note that slavic ppl came south into the Balkan Peninsula after the 6/7th century, while Nis even durin Ottoman empire belonged to one of the Albanian vilyayets . So really Albanians became christians before the west did.
Not " Georg" but Gjergj Kastrioti . The Albanian History is more more and 1000 times more then That!! 😂🤣😁🤣😂 but thanks for that, you are 👍
Not Georg but Gjorgji(Ѓорѓи) he was Macedonian
@@tomestojanovski4498 Skanderbeg died in 1468, Macedonians were created 50 years ago and your greatest hero is Tito.
@@tomestojanovski4498 Northmacedonians didn't even exist in the 15th century lol. Skanderbeg said himself that he is Albanian. Northmacedonians are Bulgarians
Skanderbeg's father, Ivan Kastriot, was the prince of Epirus. His mother, Vojislava, was also a princess of Serbian origin , daughter of Grgur Brankovic and grandson of the famous Serbian knight Vuk Brankovic.

Great video !
Thanks for the visit
Actually Gjon Kastrioti gave all his 4 sons,but only Skanderbeg survived and became a beg!
Iskander beg
Ive trVeled the balkans by bus train and bike but nothing is worse than the greyhound bus in Albuquerque.
Can you tell me what's that beat in the intro
Love the parts where you‘re talking upside down in the video. I‘m gonna pretend it was on purpose.
Ah its all good. It humanizes him man. I like it, small error, still cool video. Everybody is too focused on perfection, perfect editing, perfect filters, all this stuff in content that trust me TAKES FOREVER to do. I almost like when there is less perfection than the glut of junk out there showing and doing the same thing that people eat up for some reason.
Haha oh that’s so embarrassing tho. It wasn’t upside down when I rendered it!!! I have no idea how that happened! I stand by it tho!
@@Rayza82 This is my take on it too. I wasn‘t sarcastic when I said I loved it. I‘d still watch if this became a thing in his videos. Amazing work!
I don’t know who you are but i watched a few video and seems very realistic I’m multilingual and many culture world wide I do understand where you come from and is no place in the world oldest in the World problems of this culture on this Country started 400 years b.c
You need to go way back to learn the beautiful history of this Land and figures way before. Blessings bro wishing you a safe and beautiful trip.
thanks for watching bro! Welcome to the channel
keep it up!
🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Albs are not Illyrians. That's a national myth.
Gjon Kastrioti did not have to give just one of his son but like 3 or 4 of which skenderbeg was one of them. If i recall correctly the others brothers did not survive
He was Serb.
India is not the home of the Indo-European expansion bro. The two leading theories are modern Eastern Ukraine or Armenia. Probably it’s a little of both. It’s most definitely not India.
In fact the ottomans abducted all the sons from the Kastrioti family.
George (Skanderbeg), the youngest of 4 brothers, was the only one who survived and reclaimed his land.
🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Scanderbeg aleat was also Vlad Dracula ! Both were in the order of dragon ! And both were very special edition against the ottomans and aleats also the Huniady of Hungaria was Scanderbeg Gjergj Kastrioti aleat and frind !
Skanderbeg in our culture isnt remembered just like a king.
He used to be really connected and was friendly with the local population.
nice video bro, by the way GJERGJ KASTRIOTI SKANDERBEG was the best general ever, HE fight with army 10-20 biger then HIS army
And you can have 100 victories by skandal berg my sultan suleyman thake you to 400 years under ottoman rule i have bean in tirana i see so much moslims going to mekka 68 procent is muslim thanks my turkish army
