Life

He was from Drozgometva village in what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina.

He served as governor of Rumeli, and led the Ottoman army in the Ottoman–Mamluk War of 1485–1491, but was defeated at Adana in 1488. He was then appointed grand vizier in 1501–1503, and again in 1509–1511. During his latter tenure he led the suppression of the Alevi-led Şahkulu Rebellion, but fell in battle near Sivas along with the rebel leader Shahkulu himself in July 1511.
