Andronika Arianiti, commonly known asDonika Kastrioti[a], (1428 – 1506) was anAlbanian noblewoman and Lady of Albania from her marriage toSkanderbeg. She was the daughter ofGjergj Arianiti, an earlier leader in the ongoing revolt against the Ottomans, andMaria Muzaka, whose family ruled under the title of despots in the southern part of the country.

Life

[edit]
The wedding of Donika andSkanderbeg in 1451

Donika was born inKaninë, in 1428. Her father,Gjergj Arianiti was a member of theArianiti family whose domain stretched across theShkumbin valley and the oldVia Egnatia road and reached to the east today'sBitola. Her mother,Maria Muzaka was a member of theMuzaka family whose domain was theMyzeqe region.[1]

A month after theTreaty of Gaeta, on 21 April 1451,Skanderbeg married Donika, and thus strengthened the ties with the Arianiti family,[2] in theAlbanian OrthodoxArdenica Monastery,[3][4] inLushnje, present-day southwestern Albania.

After the Ottoman conquest of Albania, the Kastriotis were given peerage in theKingdom of Naples.[5] They obtained a feudal domain, the Duchy ofSan Pietro in Galatina and the County ofSoleto (Province of Lecce, Italy).[6] Gjon Kastrioti II, Donika's and Skanderbeg's only child, marriedJerina Branković, the daughter ofLazar Branković,Despot of Serbia.[6]
