Children Of The Eagle

In the final episode of Skanderbeg, we cover how Skanderbeg and his army engaged in a series of strategic maneuvers during his Italian campaign, used his guerilla warfare tactics against Sultan Mehmed II during the second siege of Kruja, and used his diplomatic negotiations skills to persuade Pope Pius II and Pope Paul II to aid him in preserving Albania's independence. Skanderbeg's last years were a testament to his unwavering commitment to freedom and his people. His legacy as a national hero and a symbol of resistance against oppression remains an integral part of Albania's history to this day. The sources behind these series are gathered from the book: "Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg: life and deeds, 1405-1468", by Kristo Frashëri, in collaboration with the Albanian Academy of Science.

In this episode of Skanderbeg, we cover when the League of Lezhë was reunited under the umbrella of King Alfonso V of Naples in 1454. However, a year later, the League would yet again crumble after the Arbër League suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Berat in 1455. Despite the devestating loss at Berat, but also disloyal members that had joined the Ottomans, Skanderbeg was left to fight the oncoming Ottoman army of around 60-80,000 soldiers at the battle of Albulena in 1457. The sources behind these series are gathered from the book: "Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg: life and deeds, 1405-1468", by Kristo Frashëri, in association with the Albanian Academy of Science.

In this episode, we cover when important Arbër noblemen left the League of Lezhë during its first year and opposed Skanderbeg, which eventually led to the breakup of the Arbër League of Lezhë in 1451. Despite the betrayal of his countrymen, Skanderbeg established the Arbër State in 1451, secured new alliances, and then confronted Ottoman troops at the battle of Modric, Mecad, and on the fields of Polog between 1452-1453.

In ancient cultures around the world, the eagle has often been regarded as the representative of the gods. Throughout human history, the eagle symbols have played a significant role not only in spirituality but also as symbols of social and political positions. Unlike the symbol of the single-headed eagle, the double-headed eagle (which we will cover more generally in this video), has a more powerful meaning and is often referred to various empires. In regards to the highly debated questions behind the history of the Albanian state symbol, we aim to clarify a few misconceptions by mapping out when it first appeared in Albanian heraldry and who they inherit it from. 📌NOTE!
