		GEORGE CASTRIOT, the Albanian hero called Scanderbeg, was born early in the fifteenth century.
		George Castriot was soon a familiar figure in the pages of chronicles and histories.
		The title of this now lost work, The true hist or ye of George Scanderbarge, "as yt was lately played by the right honorable the Earl of Oxenfofd his servantes," was entered in the Stationers' Register on July 3, 1601, but there is no rec¬ord of its having been printed nor is the author known.

	Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg
		Gjergj (Albanian for George) Kastrioti (1405 - January 17, 1468) was born in Krujë, Albania from Gjon Kastrioti, lord of Middle Albania, who was obliged by the Ottomans to pay tribute to the Empire.
		To assure the fidelity of local rulers the Sultan used to take their sons as hostages and bring them up in his court.
		Many museums and monuments are raised in his honor around Albania, among them the Museum of Skanderbeg in his castle in Kruje.

	All Empires History Forum: A rather unknown, great military leader
		Of course George Kastrioti is an important figure but his biography above fails to mention that he and Hunyadi were routed by the sultan at the second Battle of Kosovo (1448) wich effectivelly imposed Ottoman dominance over the Balkans.
		A brother of George Castriota Scanderbeg was Stanisha (Staniscia), who left a son Branilo.
		Even it is recorded that although he adopted the double headed eagle from the byzatines he did so because this was of symbolic importance of Albanians themselves.

		Georg von Frundsberg (24 Sept. 1473 — 20 August 1528), somewhat one of the forefathers of modern infantry, was an Imperial military commander and leader of the Landsknechte under Maximilian I. and Karl V, who led his troops against the French, the Swiss, the Venetians and in the Low Countries.
		Pictures show an unofficial cuff title with the title “Estland” in wear; this may have been worn by members of this regiment or by the entire division.
		The goat-head helmet worn by Skanderbeg was also adopted as the symbol for the division’s collar patch, although this saw no or only limited use.

		Another battle that was lost becouse of traitorous Serb is battle of Varna in 1444-Serbian despot George Branković privately informed Murad of the advance of the Christian host led by Janos Hunyadi.
		In the battle of Kosovo polje(not the famous first one, but the second)that took place in 1448 once again Serbs were Ottoman trusted allies.
		It is quite ironic that an Albanian George Kastriota aka Skanderbeg was at that time(at Balkans) most fearsome Ottoman enemy.
