=== Albania === The Venetians installed a "Duke of Durazzo" (today [[Durrës]]) during their [[Duchy of Durazzo (Republic of Venice)|brief rule]] over the city and its environs in 1205–1213. In 1332, [[Robert of Taranto]] succeeded his father, [[Philip I of Taranto|Philip]]. Robert's uncle, [[John, Duke of Durazzo|John]], did not wish to do him homage for the [[Principality of Achaea]], so Robert received Achaea from John in exchange for 5,000 ounces of gold and the rights to the diminished [[Kingdom of Albania (medieval)|Kingdom of Albania]]. John took the style of [[Duchy of Durazzo (Angevin)|Duke of Durazzo]]. In 1368, Durazzo fell to [[Karl Thopia]], who was recognized by [[Republic of Venice|Venice]] as ''Prince of Albania''.
