Plain of Torvioll

The Plain of Torvioll, or the Plain of Shumbat as it is known today, is located in the Lower Dibra region in eastern Albania, north of Peshkopi.〔 It is most famous for being the battlefield for Skanderbeg's first battle against the Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Torvioll which took place on 29 June 1444. According to a defter gathered by the Ottomans in 1467, the region of Lower Dibra included the northern half of Dibran territory.〔Frashëri, Kristo (2002) (in Albanian), Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu: jeta dhe vepra, p. 139.〕
The plain, according to Giammaria Biemmi's work, one of the primary sources on Skanderbeg and his campaigns, was long and wide, stretching from Mount Maran in Lower Dibra to the Mokra Mountains.〔 He also says that it is closed by a series of hills at whose feet runs the Shkumbin River and two heavily-wooded mountains where Skanderbeg hid his ambushing force. However, the Shkumbin River does not run through Lower Dibra.〔Frashëri, Kristo (2002) (in Albanian), Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu: jeta dhe vepra, p. 140.〕 Instead, the Black Drin does. Kristo Frashëri, an eminent historian on the study of Skanderbeg, states that Biemmi lapsed, confusing the Black Drin with the Shkumbin. Furthermore, the Black Drin matches all of the geographical features described by Biemmi, as does the modern-day Plain of Shumbat.〔
Biemmi furthermore states that the plain derived its name from a nearby village.〔 It is not sure if this village actually existed, but it is assumed that Torvioll lends its etymology to the word ''tevioll'' in the Dibër dialect meaning ''land without a lord'', noting that it did not have any owners and any shepherd could feed his livestock there.〔 It is therefore possible that the battle was originally named after ''Tevioll'' and was corrupted to ''Torvioll''.〔Frashëri, Kristo (2002) (in Albanian), Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu: jeta dhe vepra, p. 141.〕
