Principality of Dukagjini (1387–1444) was a principality in Medieval Albania.[1] It was created by brothers Pal and Leka I Dukagjini and then ruled by Pal's descendants, Tanush Dukagjini, Pal II Dukagjini, who took part in the League of Lezha.[2] Pal's son, Lekë III Dukagjini is one of the most prominent personalities in Albanian history.
