Bruni family

Bruni family was an Albanian medieval family dating back to the 13th century in Shkoder[1]. The family fled when the city was occupied by the Ottomans[2]. Part of the family was located in modern day Koper. Giovanni Bruni is mentioned as the archbishop of Ulcinj in 1581[3]. He became the archbishop in 1551 and participated in the council of Trent in 1563[4][5]. He died from the Spanish who boarded his ship and killed him after the Battle of Lepanto despite yelling ”I am a Christian, I am a bishop”[6]. In 1537, Antonio II of the Bruti-family married with Maria of the Bruni family in Ulcinj. Gasparo Bruni is mentioned as the first knight of Malta, servant of Sultan Murad III. The family was ”trans-imperial subjects” with members working as translators, merchants, and men of the church making them valuable to the Venetians and Ottomans[7].
