Ajas Pasha (Bosnian: Ajaz-beg or Ajas-paša; ? - Bosnia Eyalet, 1486) was a Bosnian sanjak-bey and later pasha in Ottoman service.[1]

Career

He was sanjak-beg of Bosnia, referred to as the Lord of the King's land, from 1470 to 1475, 1477 to 1478 and in 1483, and ruled as 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. He was personally appointed as the sanjak-beg of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II. In 1472 he raided the Croatian Littoral, Kordun, Istria and Friuli regions.[1] In November 1481 he besieged Herceg Novi, capturing the city the same year December 14th after Duke Vlatko Hercegović gave up defending it and agreed to surrender.[2] For this Ajas was awarded the title of pasha.[3]

Achievements

He played a key role in the development of Visoko from a Bosnian medieval type of town[4] to an Ottoman styled urban organization. He legalized his vakf in 1477 hammam, shops, mekteb, water supply system, bridge on river Bosna, shadirvan, medrese and Nakshbandi tekija[5] which he built in Visoko. He personally commissioned the construction of all these structures and buildings.
