Epirus has been called Albania since its conquest in the late thirteenth century by Charles d’Anjou, King of Naples.

The kingdom of Albania, a distinct entity from the Kingdom of Naples, has the nature of a military oriented political structure, with the organs of government located in Durrës.

At the head of this governmental body is the captain-general, who has the status of a viceroy.

These persons usually have the title of capitaneus et vicarius generalis and are the head of the army also, while the local forces are commanded by persons who hold the title marescallus in partibus Albaniae.

The royal resources, especially income from salt production and trade, are paid to the thesaurius of Albania.

The port of Durrës and sea trade are essential to the kingdom.

The port is under the command of a prothontius and the Albanian fleet has its own captain.

Other offices are created and function under the authority of the viceroy.

Other western titles of nobility are from 1304 on bestowed by the Angevins upon the local Albanian lords.

Robert had returned to Scotland; Edward, emerging from Ulster in 1318, fights Mortimer at Faughard near Dundalk and dies here.

James Douglas, called the Black, has led continual Scottish raids into England from 1315 to 1318, while King Robert the Bruce campaigns in Ireland with his brother Edward.
