Vrana Konti

Vrana Konti or Kont Uran Altisferi (? - 1458) was a 15th century Albanian count and one of the closest collaborators of George Kastrioti Skanderbeg. Up to his death in 1458 he was the counselor of Skanderbeg and one of his best commanders.

Vrana Konti participated in all major battles of Skanderbeg up to 1458. He is known mainly for his resistance as the commander of the Albanian garrison during the First Siege of Krujë. He was proposed by the Sultan Murad II a great sum of money and a high ranking post in Ottoman administration as a condition for his surrender but he refused this offer. In Albanian culture he is usually represented as a wise man counselling Skanderbeg.[1]
