The Vrioni family is one of the great aristocratic and one of the biggest landowner families of Albania, otherwise known as "Konaqe" or "Oxhaqe", among which the most important are: Vrioni of Berat and Fier, Vloraj of Vlora, Toptani of Tirana, Biçakçinjtë of Elbasan, Dino of Ioannina and Preveza, Vërlaci of Elbasan, Bushatllinjtë of Shkodra, Këlcyrajt of Këlcyra, Markagjonët of Mirdita, etc. Insignia titles held by members of these families, usually Pasha or Bey, corresponded to the assigned positions in the Ottoman administration, central or local, which are given by Ferman or Berat (Decrees) by the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. HistoryNumerous sources claim,that the Vrioni are descendants of the Palaeologan Byzantine dynasty, emerging as the Byzantine Emperors around the mid 11th century. After the dissolution of the Byzantine Empire,the Palaeologan emerged as sovereign princes of the various principalities and have extended across Europe: in Venice or Rome, in Russia or in France. Under the influence of the Ottomans a part of Palaeologan turned Muslims. In his "Journey through Greece",[1] Pouqueville, a former consul general of France near Ali Pasha of Ioannina, mentions one Vrioni predecessor, Omar Pacha Vrioni (the first), as the successor of one of the branches of this dynasty. Aravantinos asserts the same thing also in his "Chronography of Epirus".[2] These latter sources show that the Vrioni appeared in Janina Vilayet mid seventeenth century as Timarli Sipahi, exactly in the Berati area Ottoman EmpireSince its beginnings the family appears integrated in the Ottoman administration and this tradition continued until the last days of the Ottoman Empire in the Albanian lands. Omer Pacha Vrioni (the first) counted as one of the most famous Ottoman's Empire Generals during the early-nineteenth century, who distinguished himself in the Egyptian battles against Napoleon and in the siege of Messolonghi. However, it is an undeniable fact, that the Vrioni have been among the most prominent Albanian patriots. Their patriotic contribution, often put them in a conflict of interest not only among each other but also with the [https://www.britannica.com/topic/Sublime-Porte Sublime Porte], which did not hesitate to exile, "the case of Mehmet Ali Pasha Vrioni", members of this family.The patriotic contribution intensified with Mehmet Ali Pasha Vrioni, who was a member of the Central Committee for the Protection of the Rights of Albanians , Ioannina Committee, Society of Istanbul and eventually Vice President of the League of Prizren in 1878, whose member and was also Omer Pasha Vrioni II. Albanian declaration of independenceLater, Ilias Bey Vrioni and Sami Bey Vrioni were among the signers of the Declaration of Independence of the Albanian State 28 November 1912 . In the dark days of World War I, while the Albanian lands were occupied by all sides, Sami Bey Vrioni and Qemal Bey Vrioni, will try to find salvation in the Durrës Congress in December 1918, to which they were both delegates, representatives of Berat. Again in 1920, Iliaz Bey Vrioni, former president of the association "the Union" , will lead the delegates of Berat to the Congress of Lushnjes, who included Huseyin Bey Vrioni, which strengthened the foundations of the new Albanian state. Meanwhile, the Vrioni activity was not only political, but also cultural. Nyzhet Bey Vrioni, member of the association "the Union" and a delegate to the Congress of Trieste in 1913, would also participate as a delegate to the Congress of Monastir in 1908. His work on the issue of the Albanian language followed later by Kahreman Bey Vrioni as a delegate to the Congress of Elbasan in September 1909, which prepared the opening of the Elbasani Normal School, the school for which the Vrioni gave valuable financial and pedagogical contribution. The first Albanian school in Berat was funded primarily by Nyzhet Bey Vrioni and Kahreman Bey Vrioni. Among the cultural assets that the Vrioni left to the Albanians was the establishment of the city of Fier in 1864. Work started by Omer Pasha Vrioni II with the help of a French architect, whose name could not be maintained in the troubled history of Albania, and continued by his son Kahreman Bey Vrioni. Albanian dictatorship (1945–1949)With the coming to power of the dictatorial regime after World War II, the Vrioni were stigmatized by the ideologues of the "Class conflict" as the symbol of traitors of the nation and class enemies. For four consecutive decades, in all textbooks the Vrioni were displayed as bloodsuckers and associates of all enemies throughout centuries of the Albanian nation, turning so to the ideal enemy of the dictatorial regime. The dictatorial regime expropriated and nationalized all the Vrioni properties and destroyed much of their cultural heritage, including historic Manors in Berat in 1947, of which only the ward where the Berat Conference of May 1944 was held in, was retained . The terror of the dictatorship executed by hanging and firing squad, imprisoned and exiled to concentration camps and forced labor camps nearly all members of this family, who are obviously more than the above-mentioned names. In 1946, the remains of Ilias Bey Vrioni, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, was exhumed and thrown into the River Osumi. In 1947, Sami Bey Vrioni, another signer of the Declaration of Independence, died under torture. Vrioni Bey Kemal was executed in 1950. 1947, Izedin Bey Vrioni was beaten to death in the local police station (his remains are still missing). Kahreman Bey Vrioni dies in unclear circumstances 1955.
