Skanderbegとは 意味・読み方・使い方

George Kastrioti Skanderbeg (6 May 1405 – 17 January 1468), widely known as Skanderbeg (Albanian: Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu, Latin: Georgius Castriotus Scanderbegh, Turkish: İskender Bey, meaning "Lord Alexander", or "Leader Alexander") was a 15th-century Albanian lord, who as leader of the federation of the League of Lezhë defended the region of Albania against the Ottoman Empire for more than two decades. Skanderbeg's military skills presented a major obstacle to Ottoman expansion, and he was considered by many in western Europe to be a model of Christian resistance against the Ottoman Muslims. Skanderbeg is Albania's most important national hero and a core figure of the Albanian National Awakening.
