The Skura (also, Skuraj, Skurraj, Skurra, Scura, Sgouros, Ozgur, Uzgur) were a medieval Albanian feudal family centred around the historical and ethnographic region of Benda in the highlands north-east of modern Tirana, central Albania.

The Latin crosses may specifically reflect the shift away from Byzantine Eastern Orthodox influence and jurisdiction, propagated by the Principality of Arbanon, and a growing identification or allegiance to the Roman Church.

[3] Progon himself was also the lord (megas eteriarchos) of Ohrid responsible for halting the military expansion of Stefan Milutin into the region and was married to a certain Eudokia who was the relative of the emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos.

[10] Later, in a document of 1469, a certain Vucho Scura is recorded as the leader of the highland territory of Benda near the citadel of Krujë (voyvode montanee Bende super Croyam).

Richard F. Kreutel argues that a certain Uzguroğlu ("son of Skura") Mehmed Bey was responsible for the Ottoman conquest of Durrës in 1501 and that he had served in campaigns around Modon and Koroni in the previous year.

[11] According to Xhufi, another member of this family – attested during the thirteenth century – was Leo Sgouros, who served as the strategos of Corinth and Nafplio in the Peloponnese, and was the son-in-law of Byzantine emperor Alexios III Angelos via his marriage to Eudokia Angelina in 1203.
