About this person
Lekë Zaharia Altisferi, or simply Lekë Zaharia, was an Albanian nobleman from the Zaharia family. Lekë ruled over the towns of Danjë and Shati in the Zadrima region of northern Albania, initially as an Ottoman vassal before later aligning himself with the Republic of Venice. In 1444, he became one of the founding members of the League of Lezhë, joining other Albanian princes under the leadership of Skanderbeg in their resistance against Ottoman expansion. Zaharia was killed later that same year in a feud with his vassal Nikollë Dukagjini, an event that sparked a wider conflict between Skanderbeg and the Republic of Venice.
