Progon[a] was the first Albanian ruler known by name, an archon of the Kruja Fortress (modern Krujë) and its surroundings, known as the Principality of Arbanon.

Progon's realm was the first Albanian state during the Middle Ages.

[2][3][4] Little is known about archon Progon who was the first ruler of Kruja and its surroundings,[5] between 1190 and 1198.

[6] The Kruja fortress stayed in the possession of the Progoni family, and Progon was succeeded by his sons Gjin, and later Dimitri.

[8] He is mentioned with his two sons in an inscription from the St. Mary Monastery in Trifandina, Gëziq, northern Albania.
