Life and Reign.
editAndrea came from the noble Muzaka family, which was wealthy in central Albania, and followed his father Gjin I in his despotate, which included the Tomornizza near Mount Tomorr, the two valleys on the Devoll , which was the border with the Arianiti family (also: Arianiti Komnenen ) was[2], and the landscape included Kastoria with all cities and domains.[3][4]
In Venetian documents, “Andreas Musachi” does not appear as a prince, but as a “valuable citizen of Durazzo”. With document No. 439 of February 27, 1389, Andreas and other gentlemen received 300 ducats annually from Doge Antonio Venier for their services “to ensure that the city does not fall into the hands of the Turks” and as long as “the city is in Venetian hands.”[5] In April 1393, the most valuable citizens of the city of Durazzo and the “Albanese chiefs nearby” received gifts and pensions from the bailo and captain of Durazzo, Francesco Giorgio. Andreas III was also among the recipients called.
