“Skanderbeg.” Now there’s a name one doesn’t hear everyday. Wasn’t he a former king of Albania?

Not exactly. He was the son of an Albanian prince who was given as a hostage to the Ottomans. He was raised as a Muslim and became a leader in their army.

He later switched sides and repelled a couple dozen invasions of Albania.
