Peter Spani (League of Lezhë)

January 30, 2023

Peter Spani (Albanian: Pjetër Spani; fl. 1430–1457) was a Catholic Albanian nobleman and Venetian pronoier in the first half of the 15th century. His family's domains included territories around Shkodër (Scutari), Drisht (Drivasto) and western Kosovo.[1] He ruled over Shala, Shosh, Nikaj-Mërtur (Lekbibaj) and Pult; the whole region under the Ottomans took his name, Petrişpan-ili (literally, 'dominions of Pjetër Shpani'). Between 1444 and 1455, Peter was a member of the League of Lezhë and after his death, the League took his territories.

Family

The Spani family held several villages around Shkodër (Scutari), Drisht (Drivasto) and various areas in western Kosovo during the first half of the 15th century.[1] The surname Span or Spani probably derives from the Greek word spanos ('beardless').[2][3] Peter's father, Marin, is first mentioned in 1409 as already deceased.[4] And since Peter did not have any sons, he emphasized that his successor would be his nephew Marin, a son of his brother Brajko.[5] Peter's other brother, Stefan,[6] was appointed by the Venetians as the lord of village Podgora in 1406.[7][8][1]

League of Lezhë

In March 1444, Peter Spani attended a meeting of several noblemen from Albania held in Lezhë when they allied themselves into a League of Lezhë.[9] The League of Lezhë was founded by:[10][11][12]

  1. Lekë Zaharia (lord of Sati and Dagnum) and his vassals Pal Dukagjin and Nicholas Dukagjini
  2. Peter Spani (lord of the mountains behind Drivasto)
  3. Lekë Dushmani (lord of Pult)
  4. George Stresi Balsha with John and Gojko Balšić
  5. Andrea Thopia with his nephew Tanush Thopia
  6. Gjergj Arianiti
  7. Theodor Corona Musachi
  8. Stefan Crnojević with his sons

In 1451 after Alfonso signed the Treaty of Gaeta with Skanderbeg, he signed similar treaties with Peter Spani and other chieftains from Albania: Gjergj Arianiti, Ghin Musachi, George Stresi Balsha, Pal III Dukagjini, Thopia Musachi, Peter of Himara, Simon Zanebisha and Carlo Toco.[13] John Musachi's Brief chronicle on the descendants of our Musachi dynasty (1515) mentions that he survived the war and lived to an advanced age.[14] In the early Ottoman-era subdivisions of Albania, the region formerly ruled by Pjetër Spani was known in Ottoman Turkish as Petrishpani or Ishpani.[15] From 1430 to 1456, the Spani are also often mentioned in the archives of the Republic of Ragusa.[3]
