In a few cases the ''sanjak-bey'' was himself directly answerable to Istanbul. Like other early Ottoman administrative offices, the ''sanjak-bey'' had a military origin: the term ''sanjak'' (and ''liva'') means "flag" or "standard" and denoted the insigne around which, in times of war, the cavalrymen holding fiefs (''timars'' or ''ziamets'') in the specific district gathered. The ''sanjakbey'' was in turn subordinate to a '' beylerbey'' ("bey of beys") who governed an '' eyalet'' and commanded his subordinate ''sanjak-beys'' in war. In this way, the structure of command on the battle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kizlar Agha
The kizlar agha ( ota, قيزلر اغاسی, tr, kızlar ağası, ), formally the agha of the House of Felicity ( ota, links=no, دار السعاده اغاسي, tr, links=no, Darüssaade Ağası), was the head of the eunuchs who guarded the imperial harem of the Ottoman sultans in Constantinople. Established in 1574, the post ranked among the most important in the Ottoman Empire until the early 19th century, especially after the stewardship of the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina and the supervision of all charitable foundations (''vakifs'') in the Empire came under his purview.

Soon after its creation and until its abolition, close to the end of the Ottoman Empire, the post came ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
