Blasius came from the noble family Mataranga family, who were wealthy in the southern Albania coastal region between Durazzo and Valona, whose first known members were recorded in a document from the Republic of Ragusa as rulers of the territory. Temporary vassals of the ByzantineEmperors, at the beginning of the 14th century they accepted the supremacy of Philip of Taranto, who recaptured Durazzo in 1304 for the House of Anjou of the Kingdom of Naples.[1] Between 1336 and 1343, their territory was incorporated into the expanding kingdom of Serbs under Stefan Dušan.
After Dušan's death on December 20, 1355, Blasius Matarango established himself as a semi-autonomous prince north of Valona in the region Myzeqe (Karavasta) between the lower reaches of the rivers Shkumbin and Seman. He recognized the suzerainty of the Simeon Uroš Palaiologos, who in 1358 served him the high court dignity of a for his loyal vassalSebastokrator, with which at the same time the legitimacy of his rule over the Albanian population was further enhanced.[2]
Blasius Matarango died in 1367; his territories fell to the "princeps Albaniae" Karl Thopia
