Üveys Pasha
Üveys Pasha (1512–1547) was an Ottoman Prince, son of Selim I (also known as ''the Grim'' or ''the Inflexible''). Background According to the 15th century Ottoman historian Âlî Mustafa Efendi, that Selim had a son born from an unnamed concubine during his early years, who was Üveys Pasha, and that his son Suleiman I was also aware of this. Üveys' mother was a harem girl whose name is not known, but because of her undisciplined manners she was expelled from the harem. In Ottoman tradition, such girls were matched to a bey or to a well-to-do man. However, in her case she was already pregnant and Selim's son was born to a stepfather. Professional life Selim looked after his son and Üveys soon became a high-ranking bureaucrat of the empire. However, when Selim died in 1520, Üveys laid no claim to throne because of Ottoman tradition which states that princes born to a stepfather have no right to ascend to throne. (This principle was similar to Byzantine tradition of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
