Under the previous taxation code, farmers were required to pay

308-479: The Holy Roman Empire. Pope Eugene IV requested troops to be sent to assist the revolt and tried to gather funds.

In 1436–37, rebels were active in the regions of Gjirokastër and Vlorë and Theodor Corona Musachi led a revolt in the region of Berat .
