Years: 1475 - 1475

Much of Albania had been lost to the Ottomans after Skanderbeg's death.

However, the heroic resistance of Scutari under Antonio Loredan had forced the Ottomans to retire from Albania, while a revolt in Cyprus had given back the island to the Cornaro family and, subsequently, to Venice in 1473.

The Serenissima’s prestige seems reassured, but Scutari falls anyway two years later, and Friuli is again invaded and ravaged.
