Renesi

The Renesi were a medieval Albanian tribe from the region around Lezhë, in northern Albania. The Renesi were Catholic. Some members of the Renesi migrated in Dalmatia and settled in the city of Zara.[1] They became a numerous and important stradiotic family[2] serving the Republic of Venice in the Adriatic cities, as well as the Kingdom of Naples.[1] Forty stradiote members of Renesi are known.[2]
