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. They became a numerous and important stradiotic family serving the Republic of Venice in the Adriatic cities, as well as the Kingdom of Naples. Forty stradiote members of Renesi are known.
