Kara Davud Pasha
Template:Ottoman Turkish name Kara Davud Pasha, also known as simply Davud Pasha or as Hain Davud Pasha ("Davud Pasha the Traitor"), was an Ottoman statesman who became briefly Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire in 1622, during the reign of his brother-in-law Mustafa I.[1]
He was born in 1570 in Bosnia Eyalet.
He married a daughter of Mehmed III and Halime Sultan in 1604. He was appointed Beylerbey of Rumelia and shortly afterwards vizier.[1]
He became Kapudan Pasha for a brief time during the first reign of Mustafa I (1617-1618).[1]
He was appointed Grand Vizier on 20th May, 1622 through the influence of Mustafa's mother, his own mother-in-law. He carried out the execution of Osman II.[1] However, he was dismissed on 13 June 1622, and was tortured until his death because he executed Osman II without the confirmation of the Sultan (Mustafa). The army went against him and the people who were included in the execution of Osman were executed with him on 18 January, 1623 by different methods.[1]
