Gjin Progoni (Latin: Ginius[1]) was an archon (or lord) of Kruja, located in present-day Albania, from c. 1198 until his death in 1208.[2] He succeeded his father, Progon of Kruja, becoming the second ruler of the Principality of Arbanon.[2] During his reign, he controlled the areas around Elbasan and the fortress of Krujë. He also maintained good ties with the Despotate of Epirus due to the Venetian threat in northern Epirus.[3] Gjin was succeeded by his younger brother Dhimitër Progoni.[2]
