Zeta — Not random
Will happen on April 28, 1421
Description
The First (1405-1412) and Second (1419-1423) Scutari Wars were conflicts fought between the small Principality of Zeta (originally a vassal of the Serbian Empire) and the Republic of Venice over control of the Dalmatian coast, with various Albanian and Serbian rulers involving themselves intermittently. A primary catalyst for the dispute was the pro-Venetian policies of Zeta's ruling prince Durad II (1385-1403), who had sold Scutari and several other trading towns to Venice in 1396, having previously also converted to Roman Catholicism as a gesture of good will towards the Republic. Durad's widow, Jelena, was the sister of Stefan the Tall, the Despot of Serbia, and a devout Orthodox Christian. Following Durad's death in battle against the Turks in 1402, his seventeen-year-old son Balsa III became Prince and Jelena his regent. Now in control of Zeta's affairs, Jelena promptly reverted the state religion to Serbian Orthodoxy and entered into an alliance with her brother, thereby provoking the Venetians into seizing further towns along the coast. Balsa responded by waging a ten-year war against the Venetians, dividing his loyalties between the Serbs and the Ottoman Turks as the political narrative shifted. By the time he died in 1421 the war had ground to a stalemate and Balsa - who had no sons - had named his uncle Stefan as heir to Zeta, which meant the Principality reverted to the Serbian crown and the war - now led by Stefan - would drag on for another two years.Actions
