According to du Cange and some other authors, Konstantin was a vasal of Serbian despot Stefan Lazarević appointed to position of Lord of Mat and Kastoria before he died in 1390.[6][7][8] Some authors, including Du Cange and Philippe Labbe, emphasized that Konstantin Kastrioti had additional surname - Mazarek (Latin: Meserechus).[9][10] Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer referred to his second surname as Serbian.[11]

  1. ^ According to Kastrioti genealogy written by Flavius Comnenus and quoted by du Cange in 1680, Kostantin was Skanderbeg's great-grandfather and the name of Skanderbeg's grandfather was Georgius.[14] The later researches proved that Kostantin was in fact Skanderbeg's uncle while the correct name of Skanderbeg's grandfather is Pal.[15]
