Damat Hasan Pasha

Not to be confused with Mollacık Hasan Pasha, who served as the Ottoman governor of Egypt (1687) immediately before Damat Hasan Pasha, or Yemişçi Hasan Pasha, who was also a damat.

Moralı Damat Hasan Pasha (Modern Turkish: Moralı Enişte Hasan Pasha or Moralı Damat Hasan Pasha; c. 1658, Tripolice, Morea – 1713, Urfa) was a Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire of Greek origin. He was also a two-time governor of Egypt.

Biography

He was born of Greek ancestry in the Morea, and was converted to Islam early on at the Enderun School through the Devşirme Christian child tax system. He initially served as an Armourer and rose to the post of Grand Vizier, where he served between 1703–1704. He married Hatice Sultan, the daughter of Sultan Mehmed IV, taking on the epithet "Damat" (Turkish: bridesgroom, son-in-law), and was eventually exiled with his wife to Izmit.
