After decisive victory at Kossovo in 1448, Sultan Murad II again besieged the mountain fortress of Krujλ in central Albania, held by Count Uran. With George Kastriote Skanderbeg harrying him from the hills and winter approaching, Murad withdrew after four months with up to 20,000 casualties. Skanderbeg later handed Krujλ to Alfonso V of Naples.
