Шаблон:Infobox military conflict The Albanian-Epirote War of 1367–70 was waged between the Despotate of Arta, led by Pjeter Losha and the Despotate of Epirus, led by Thomas II Preljubović.[1][2]

Background

Thomas II Preljubović took control over Ioannina and the Despotate of Epirus sometime in 1366 or 1367.[1][2] His rule marked a renewal of hostilities in the region, persecuting the local nobility, which inspired a series of revolts against his rule. Preljubović also waged a continuous war against the Albanians of Arta and Angelokastron such as in 1367, right after taking power.[1][2]

War

In 1367, Pjetër Losha together with his son, Gjin, launched an invasion into Thomas II Preljubović's Despotate.[1][2] During their Campaign, Peter was supported by the Albanian Mazaraki and Malakasioi tribes, who helped him ravage the countryside around Ioannina and later lay a three-year siege on the City itself.[1][2] In 1370, the Siege and thus the War ended with a Ceasefire, in which Thomas's daughter Irina, was forced to marry Gjin, Son of Pjetër Losha.[1][3]
