[1] He married Helena Thopia,[2] the daughter of Albanian magnate Karl Topia, who had ruled as "Prince of Albania" from Durazzo and had since 1386 served as a Venetian vassal.

[6] Afterwards, Đurađ II broke ties with the Ottomans and seized rival Konstantin's stronghold Dagno in 1395, with Venetian assistance.

[10] Stefan Lazarević, the ruler of the Serbian Despotate, had been ceded Zeta from his nephew Balša III (Đurađ II's successor) in April 1421, but the Venetians did not recognize him, holding on to the occupied Zetan coast (including the Bay of Kotor) and Bojana, including Drivast recaptured by them after Balša's death.

[11] The Venetians had no intention to cede Balša's former possessions to Despot Stefan and even requested Ottoman support in case of an attack.

[12] The Second Scutari War followed, which ended inconclusive in August 1423 with the Treaty of Sveti Srdj; in it, Kotor accepted Venetian suzerainty.
