Creighton, MandellJustin Winsor, Samuel Rawson Gardiner, Reginald Lane Poole, Sir John Goronwy Edwards (1938) The English historical review53 Longman »Coming to Skanderbeg's origin, he rejects Hopf's and Jireček's view that it was Slav, contending that it was purely Albanian, and that the family name, Castriota, was assumed from the place Kastri, whereas the original surname was Mazreku, taken from a village so called. But Skanderbeg's mother had Slav name, and the epithet "Tripalda" given to her is a corruption of the tribal name Triballi, which the pedantic Byzantine historians applied to the Serbs. Moreover, if he had no connection to Serbia, why should he have given two villages to Chilindar, which the author wrongly asserts (p 43, n 1) to be a convent in Albania, but which the document he cites expressly states to have been the famous Serbian monastery on Mount Athos, immemorially connected with Serbian kings, medieval and modern?«
