Albania under Serbia in the Middle Ages

Albania under Serbia in the Middle Ages was a period of time where Serbia gained extensive amounts of territory within the borders of modern-day Albania. Firstly, as part of Serbian Grand Principality and later as part of Serbian Empire, Serbian control in southern Albania is unclear. Some suggest they acquired towns, but others believe they only obtained submission, possibly nominal, from Albanian tribes. Central and southern Albanian towns were not conquered until 1343–45. Between 1272 and 1368, some areas of the modern-day state were also ruled by the Angevins as the Kingdom of Albania. In the late 14th century, Albanian Principalities were created throughout Albania.
