Pasha Yiğit Bey or Saruhanli Pasha Yiğit Bey[1] (Serbian language: Pašait-beg, also Pasaythus or Basaitus d. 1413) was an Ottoman civil and military officer at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th century.
Life[]
He was born in Saruhan. Yiğit was the tutor of Isak-Beg, the second ruler of Skopsko Krajište,[2] and the father of Turahan Bey[3] an Ottoman general, conqueror of Thessaly and warden of its marches. Sultan granted large land estates to Pasha Yiğit Bey and to Isak-Beg for their merits.[4]
He died in Skopje, and was buried in the yard of the notable Meddah mosque.[5] The mosque and turbe were destroyed during World War II.[6]
Military career[]
Pasha Yiğit Bey was one of the Ottoman commanders in the Battle of Kosovo in 1389.[5] In 1390 the Ottomans populated parts of Macedonia (in modern-day northern Greece) with Yürüks from Saruhan who were probably related to Yiğit Bey.[7] Since Pasha Yiğit Bey was also of Yürük nomadic tribal origin (from Saruhan) he also settled in the same borderland (Turkish language: uc) and was appointed as a leader of his troublesome fellow tribesmen.[8] In 1392 Pasha Yiğit Bey led the army that took Skopje (Turkish language: Üsküp), thus he was named the conqueror of Skopje by the Ottoman Empire.[9]
Pasha Yiğit Bey became the first lord (Turkish language: uc-beyi) of the Skopsko Krajište, the borderland province of Ottoman Empire, and served for 21 years, from 1392 to 1413.[10] In spring of 1390, after the Battle of Kosovo, Yiğit was sent by Sultan Bayazid to invade Bosnia which he did, undertaking two campaigns.[11][12][13] Pasha Yiğit Bey managed to capture Đurađ II Balšić in a battle and released him after the ransom was paid.[14]
