Skanderbeg - 2025 ACF Winter

Question

In response to a proposed alliance from Giovanni Antonio Orsini, this person offered his people’s descent from Pyrrhus of Epirus as a refusal. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this person who invaded southern Italy at the behest of Ferdinand I of Naples. This Albanian folk hero founded the League of Lezhe.

ANSWER: Skanderbeg [or Gjergj Kastrioti]

[10h] Skanderbeg was able to launch his invasion of Italy thanks to the preoccupation of Mehmed II with his invasion of this Byzantine despotate. This province, which occupies much of the modern-day Peloponnese, was often ruled by a direct family member of the Byzantine Emperor.

ANSWER: Despotate of Morea [or Despotate of Mystras]

[10e] Skanderbeg felt indebted to Ferdinand I of Naples thanks to the generous military aid of Alfonso V, a king of this state. This kingdom’s ruler, Ferdinand, married Isabella of Castile to form modern-day Spain.

ANSWER: Aragon [or Kingdom of Aragon; or Regne d’Aragó; or Reino d’Aragón]
