TOPTANI

The family Toptani is among the most prestigious of Albania. One if its members, Essad Pasha Toptani, was elected King of Albania in June 1920, a few days before he was assassinated in Paris, leaving two daughters. The family traces its ancestry to Karl Muzhak Toptani and his wife Mamica, sister of national hero Gjon Kastrioti. Here the ancestry of the (elder) English branch is presented.
