Ottoman Sultan Murad II invaded Albania to capture Svetigrad, then advanced against Dibra (modern Debar), northeast of Tirana. Albanian commander George Kastriote Skanderbeg broke off his siege of Danj and marched to meet the Turks, inflicting a very costly defeat. The Turks soon had to withdraw, lifting their siege of Kruje, to meet a Hungarian army at Kossovo.
