This is a picture I took of the bust of Skanderbeg at a memorial to him in Lezhe, Albania.
Skanderbeg (1405-1468), born Gjergj Kastrioti, was taken by the Ottoman Sultan to serve in the Janissaries when he was a child, after Albania was conquered by the Ottoman Empire.  He was nicknamed Iskander (Alexander in Turkish) and eventually reached the rank of bey (general).  He was therefore called  Iskander-bey, or Skanderbeg to the Albanians.  In 1443, after serving the Ottomans for most of his life, he inexplicably chose to abandon his army and led an effort to liberate Albania, uniting the fractious nobility and beginning a war against Turks.  From 1443 to his death in 1468, he lost only two battles, and effectively stopped the Ottoman advance though Eastern Europe.  After his death, Albania was conquered again by the Turks, and would not regain its full independence until the end of World War I in 1918.  
I’m kind of obsessed with him.  Just sayin’.

Helmet of Skanderbeg of Albania.  Any information about him is worth a read, as it turns out.  He was an Albanian National Hero- preserving the Albanian National Identity and leading them in battle for a long healthy reign.  He helped stem the tide of the Ottoman Empire (at least for a while), and did it all in a really gorgeous golden helm.
Bit of a badass, it would seem.

This is where my URL comes from, followers. I’m a proud Albanian, myself. I mean, look at this damn helm!
