[2] Ferdinand Castriota, whose exact year of marriage remains unknown, married Adriana Acquaviva-d'Aragona of Nardò.

[3][4] Ferdinand, fought under General Lotrecco against Charles V, whose army was commanded by Philibert of Chalon in the War of the League of Cognac.

This transfer was recognized by Charles V, who referred to Erina as the "only-begotten legitimate and natural daughter" in the donation document.

Erina's inheritance of Ferrante's estates is attributed to the felony of her father and the supposed death of her brothers without heirs.

Some historians debate whether Ferdinand had additional children, but Erina's status as the sole heir marks the end of the direct male line of the Castriota family as feudatories of San Pietro in Galatina and Soleto.
