Biography

edit

He was born of Greek ancestry[1][2] in Morea, and was converted to Islam early on at the Enderun School through the Devşirme Christian child tax system.[3] He initially served as an Armourer and rose to the post of Grand Vizier, where he served between 1703 and 1704.[4] On 13 March 1691, he married Hatice Sultan, the daughter of Sultan Mehmed IV and Gülnuş Sultan,[5] They were given the Sinan Pasha Palace as their residence.[6][7] They had a daughter. He was eventually exiled to Izmit with his wife in 1704. In 1707, Hasan Pasha was sent to Egypt, whereas his wife returned to Istanbul, he was appointed as the governors of Egypt, Tripoli and Kütahya.[6][7] He died in December 1713 in Şanlıurfa.

Shortly afterward a new grand vizier, Hasan, came to take the place of the old one, and he held his post during the period we are interested in: from November 16, 1703, to September 28, 1704. He was the new sultan's son-in-law… "he was a very honest and comparatively humane pasha of Greek origin and cannot be suspected of selling the sultan's pages to a foreigner."
