Ibrahim Pasha, The Grand Vizier Of The Ottoman Empire

 Ibrahim Pasha was 31 vizier of the Ottoman Empire, and served in this position for about 13 years. For the service of the Sultan Suleiman Ibrahim has made such authorities, of which it was only a dream.
Ibrahim was the son of a normal Greek fisherman, and, it would seem, from where is the happiness of being the Grand vizier of the dynasty of the Ottomans. But even as a child he was kidnapped by the Turks and was taken to the Manis, where he received education together with the future of Sultan Suleiman. He learned very many languages and was clever enough. After the accession to the throne of Suleiman Ibrahim, thanks to their skills commander and diplomat, has earned many awards and titles and was the second person after the Sultan. For his piety and modesty Ibrahim was awarded the fact that the Governor himself gave his word that he would not be executed until the throne sits the great Sultan. Later he was awarded the title of the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire and received a great power.
Ibrahim was married to the sister of the Sultan Хатидже. According to the historical sources it is known that the Ibrahim Pasha was a lot of enemies and rivals. All jealous of his power and friendship with the Great Padishah.
But once Ibrahim stumbled, and that sin cost him his life. During a successful campaign against the Persians, he gave himself the title including the word «Sultan». This is a very angry Ruler, and he decided to kill Ibrahim. Is of the opinion that the penalty was inspired by the Sultan of his beloved wife Roksolana, who did not love Pasha.

As the Sultan gave the oath, he was forced to go to the Imam and get a fatwa, which allows to refuse from the curse. In return, he promised to build a mosque. After that, in 1536, Ibrahim Pasha executed. Interestingly, for the seven days before the execution, Suleiman daily dined with Ibrahim, as if to give him the opportunity to either execute himself, or running away, but Ibrahim was delivered to the Sultan until the last breath. 
Subsequently Suleiman very sorry about his decision, his character was bad, and the pain he expressed in his famous verses.
