Mataranga

Mataranga was an Albanian family's coastal principality between Durrës and Vlorë. In 1319 Paul Mataranga joined Philip of Taranto's coalition of Albanian lords against the Serbian king Stefan Milutin.

Serbian expansion absorbed the territory before 1343. After Stefan Dušan's empire collapsed, Blasius Mataranga revived the principality between the Shkumbin and Seman from 1358 to 1367. Following the Ottoman conquest, many family members emigrated to Arbëresh settlements in southern Italy.
