Ottoman Sultan Murad II invading Albania against George Kastriote Skanderbeg besieged Svetigrad, then left a covering force and continued on to besiege the strategic fortress of Krujλ, on a mountain spur north of Tirana. However, after Skanderbeg defeated the Turks at Dibra, Murad had to withdraw to oppose a Hungarian invasion of Serbia, which he soon crushed at Kossovo.
