Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire (1632) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Topal Recep Pasha (Serbo-Croatian: Topal Redžep-paša, "Recep Pasha "Lame"; died 18 May 1632) was an Ottoman statesman from the Sanjak of Bosnia,[1] as well as Damat ("bridegroom") to the House of Osman as the husband of Gevherhan Sultan, daughter of Sultan Ahmed I. He was the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire from 10 February 1632 to 18 May 1632.[2] He was instrumental in lynching the former grand vizier, Hafiz Ahmed Pasha.
