Muzaka
Muzaka was an Orthodox Albanian family's lordship in the Myzeqe lowlands. In 1337 Andrea II Muzaka ruled after receiving the Byzantine title of despot in 1335 and becoming a vassal of the Angevin Prince of Taranto in 1336.
Andrea defeated a Serbian army on Mount Pelister around 1340, but Stefan Dušan seized his lands in 1343–1345. The family recovered and took Kastoria after the Battle of Marica in 1371. Ottoman annexations in 1415–1417 ended its rule; in 1444 Theodor Corona Musachi joined Skanderbeg's revolt.
