Ottoman Sultan Murad II invaded Albania to besiege Svetigrad (Kodjadjik), then advanced against Krujλ. Albanian commander George Kastriote Skanderbeg broke off his siege of Venetian Danj, but before he could relieve Svetigrad, the Turks cut off its water and forced the city to surrender. The Turks were then defeated at Dibra before victory in October at Kossovo.
