Life[]
Xhelal Pasha Zogolli was educated privately. He served in the Montenegrin War of 1852-53. Later he visited Russia and inspired by Russians he attempted a local rebellion against Ottoman rule after his return which was unsuccessful because of the low participation. He married Ruqiya Khanum [Ruhijé Hanem], from the wealthy Alltuni family of Kavajë. He died apparently poisoned by Ottoman agents at Vienna, Austria, even though this claim is not yet proven. He was buried in Haji Badem Uskanda, Istanbul, Turkey.
