 * Gjon Kastrioti, George's father, became the Sultan's vassal in 1409 and was obliged to pay tribute and to send his eldest son, Stanisha, to be the Sultan's hostage.

''Why only in 1409, if Ottoman Empire conquered Albania in 1385? What was he before? When did his vassalage ended and became full Ottoman suzerainty?''


 * During the 1430s, Skanderbeg controlled a relatively large timar composed of nine villages, which historians believe may have been part of the vilayet of Dhimitër Jonima.

How did he protect that large timar from the Albanian rebels in period 1432—1436?


 * Gjon Kastrioti was defeated in a battle by the Ottoman governor of Skopje, Isa bey Evrenos and as a result, his territorial possessions were extremely reduced.

''What about Skanderbeg and his brothers, what were they doing? Was this defeat in period of the Arianini's rebellion, because usually one Ottoman governor don't attack another.''


 * October 10, 1445 — Skanderbeg and his forces were victorious in the Battle of Mokra (fought on the territory of Serbian Despotate (an Ottoman vassal state then), near Prizren).

''Exact position of Mokra should be clarified. Different articles about Skanderbeg give different positions of the Mokra, but none of them presents GPS coordinates.''
