text_original: Another opponent of the Turks was an Albanian Scandei  Priuce, George Castriot, known to history as Scaiiderbey, ^^^ a contraction of Iskender Bey or the Lord Alexander, a title given to him by the Turks. When a boy he had been delivered as a hostage to the Sultan, who brought him up as a Moslem and treated him with the greatest favour and distinction. Apparently the youth retained in secret the Christian faith, and planned to escape on the earliest opportunity.
