Torvioll, also known as the battle of Lower Dibra, was fought on June 29
of 1444 in Albania. Skanderbeg was an Ottoman captain of Albanian origin
who decided to go back to his native land and take the reins of a new
Albanian rebellion. He, along with 300 other Albanians fighting at the
battle of Nish, deserted the Ottoman army to head towards Krujë, which
fell quickly through a subversion. He then formed the League of Lezhë, a
confederation of Albanian princes united in war against the Ottoman
Empire. Murad II, realizing the threat, sent one of his most experienced
captains, Ali Pasha, to crush the rebellion with a force of 25,000 men.
