Skanderbeg

George Castriot (Albanian: Gjergj Kastrioti, 6 May 1405 – 17 January 1468), known as Skanderbeg was an Albanian nobleman and military commander, who served the Ottoman Empirein 1423–43. After leaving Ottoman service, he led a rebellion against the Ottoman Empire in Albania. Skanderbeg's military skills presented a major obstacle to Ottoman expansion, and he was considered by many in western Europe to be a model of Christian resistance against the Ottoman Muslims.
