Agha Of The Janissaries
The Agha of the Janissaries or Janissary Agha () was a top Ottoman military official and courtier, and the commander of the Janissary corps. Apart from the commander-general of the entire corps, the title of "Agha of the Janissaries" was also borne by the commander of a provincial garrison of Janissaries. Appointment and duties The Agha was chosen by the Ottoman Sultan, but was not necessarily himself a Janissary. To secure the often uncertain loyalty of the corps, Bayezid II () stopped the practice of appointing the ''sekban-bashi'' (the commander of the ''sekban'' regiments) to the post, and instead nominated a member of his own household to the post. At the same time, Bayezid founded the ''Ağa Bölükleri'' ("Agha's Troops") regiments, initially as the Agha's personal retinue and a means of controlling the corps; eventually these became regular Janissary units, and by the end of the 16th century there were 61 ''Ağa Bölükleri'' regiments.
