Biography

Hasan Pasha (fl. 1593–94) was the beylerbey of the Temeşvar Eyalet. He had the title of deli. He was transferred to Temeşvar after being pardoned for disturbance at Gallipoli. During the Uprising in Banat (1594), he gained aid from the Grand Vizier Koca Sinan Pasha and the Pasha of Budim, thus turned with an army numbering 20,000 soldiers and attacked Becskerek (Zrenjanin), in the hands of 4,300 rebels, ending in a decisive Ottoman victory. Subsequently, Sinan Pasha took an army of 30,000 soldiers which suppressed the badly armed Serbs.
