Secondo il viaggiatore ottomano del 17 ° secolo Çelebi e lo storico moderno Oliver Schmitt, dopo la morte di Skanderbeg, gli Ottomani hanno fatto irruzione nella sua tomba nella Cattedrale cattolica di San Nicola e hanno trasformato le sue ossa in Tailsmen in modo da poter rubare la sua forza dopo la morte e hanno trasformato la chiesa in una chiesa

“The Ottomans, for their part, were full of admiration for Scanderbeg as a model warrior. It was they who had given him the title Iskender Bey. But their admiration soon turned to trepidation when they tried to advance through the wooded gorges of Dibra. Magic powers were attributed to Scanderbeg, even after his death. His bones were considered talismans and were believed to provide support and protection in battle. The trepidation that Ottoman soldiers felt in the dark forests and mountains was certainly heightened by their vision of Scanderbeg as a rebel leader with wondrous powers.”
