Ajas Pasha (? - Anatolia, 1486) was a Bosnian sanjak-bey and later pasha in Ottoman service.[1]

Career[]

He was sanjak-bey of Bosnia, referred to as the Lord of the King's land, from 1470 to 1475, 1477 to 1478 and in 1483, and ruled sanjak-bey of Herzegovina, also referred to as Herzegovina's Krajisnik or Duke of the Herzeg's land, from 1478 to 1480 and 1481 to 1483. In 1472 he raided Croatian littoral, Istria and Friuli region.[1] In November 1481 he besieged Herceg Novi, and on 14th December of 1481 he captured the city after Vlatko Hercegović gave up defending it and agreed surrender.[2] For this he was awarded title of pasha.[3]

Achievements[]

He played a key role in the development of Visoko from a Bosnian medieval type of town[4] to Ottoman styled urban organization. He legalized his waqf in 1477 hammam, shops, maktab, water supply system, bridge on river Bosna, madrasa and Naqshbandi khanqah[5] which he built in Visoko.
