Damat Hasan Pasha
Damat Moralı Hasan Pasha, also known as Moralı Enişte Hasan Pasha, was an Ottoman statesman born around 1658 in Tripoli, Morea. He came from Greek ancestry, was taken as a Christian child, converted to Islam, and trained at the Enderun School. He began as an armourer and rose to high office, eventually becoming Grand Vizier.
He served as Grand Vizier from 18 November 1703 to 28 September 1704 under Sultan Ahmed III. He was also governor of Egypt twice, first from 1687 to 1689 and again from 1707 to 1709, and he held other posts such as governor of Tripoli and Kütahya. In 1691 he married Hatice Sultan, a daughter of Mehmed IV, which made him a Damat, a groom to the royal family. In 1704 he and his wife were exiled to Izmit, but he was pardoned in 1707 and sent to Egypt, while his wife returned to Istanbul.
Damat Hasan Pasha died in December 1713 in Şanlıurfa.
