Gropa family
Albanian noble family / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gropa were an Albanian noble family which ruled the region between Pogradec, Ohrid and Debar from the 12th until the 14th century.[2] In the 13th century members of the Gropa family were thought to be Catholics, but in the 14th century they reconverted to Orthodoxy because of the political relations with the Archbishopric of Ohrid.[3]
