Hadım (Eunuch) Suleiman Pasha (Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928);: خادم سلیمان پاشا; Turkish: Hadım Süleyman Paşa; 1467 – September 1547) was an Ottoman statesman and military commander of Greek descent.[1] [2] He served as the governor of Ottoman Egypt in 1525 - 1535 and 1537 - 1538, and as Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire between 1541 and 1544.[3] He was a eunuch.
The Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent ordered Suleiman Pasha as governor of Egypt to conduct a naval expedition in the Indian Ocean, where he led the capture of Aden and the siege of Diu (in Portuguese India) in 1538.[4] Suleiman Pasha was a benefactor of his long-serving successor in the Egyptian governorship, Davud Pasha (served 1538–1549), whom he championed for the role to spite his rival and colleague, Rüstem Pasha.[5]
