The Pastrovic attack against the Albanians of Spiç (Spizza) in 1615

In 1615, several tribesmen of the Pastrovic (denoted s Pastrovicchi) crossed the border of Turkish Albania and attacked the Albanians of Spiç (Spizza) and killed several people. This led to the armed forces of Antivari and Ulqin responding. This according to the publication “Governare la frontiera: approcci e pratiche della dominazione veneziana nelle Bocche di Cattaro (1573‑1645)” by Michele Santoro.

Cited:

“In 1615, a group of inhabitants of Pastrovicchi crossed the border into the lands of the Ottoman community of Spizza, killing several people and provoking the armed attention of the Antivar and Dulcignot authorities. The rector sent the voivode to the area with three hundred armed Stradiotti and ordered the entire population of Pastrovicchi to take refuge near the castle of Santo Stefano or Budva in case of attack.”
