Pjetër Zaharia was born in the mid 14th century in northern Albania. He came from the noble Albanian family of Zaharia.[1] Most historians attribute the establishment of relations between Pope Boniface IX and the Zakaria family to him.[1] In 1390 Zakaria became bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sapë and Dagnum.
