Pasha Yiğit Bey or Saruhanli Pasha Yiğit Bey[1] (Serbo-Croatian: Pašait-beg, also Pasaythus or Basaitus; died 1413) was an Ottoman civil and military officer at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th century.
Life
[edit]He was born in Manisa and was of Yörük origin.[2][3] Yiğit was the tutor of Ishak Bey, the second ruler of Sanjak of Üsküp,[4] and the father of Turahan Bey[5] an Ottoman general, conqueror of Thessaly and warden of its marches. The Ottoman Sultan granted large land estates to Pasha Yiğit Bey and to Ishak Bey for their merits.[6]
He died in Skopje, and was buried in the yard of the notable Meddah Mosque.[7] The mosque and türbe were destroyed during World War II.[8]
Military career
[edit]Pasha Yiğit Bey was one of the Ottoman commanders in the Battle of Kosovo in 1389.[9] In 1390 the Ottomans populated parts of Macedonia (in modern-day northern Greece) with Yürüks from Saruhan. Since Pasha Yiğit Bey was also of Yürük nomadic tribal origin (from Saruhan) he also settled in the same borderland (Turkish: uc) and was appointed as a leader of his fellow tribesmen.[10] In 1392 Pasha Yiğit Bey led the army that took Skopje (Turkish: Üsküp), thus he was named the conqueror of Skopje by the Ottoman Empire.[5]
Pasha Yiğit Bey became the first lord (Turkish: uc beği) of the Skopsko Krajište, the borderland province of Ottoman Empire, and served for 21 years, from 1392 to 1413.[11] In spring of 1390, after the Battle of Kosovo, Yiğit was sent by Sultan Bayazid to invade Bosnia which he did, undertaking two campaigns.[12][13][14] Pasha Yiğit Bey managed to capture Đurađ II Balšić in a battle and released him after the ransom was paid.[15]
