Everything about Lala Kara Mustafa Pasha totally explained
Lala Kara Mustafa Pasha (or simply
Lala Mustafa Pasha) (c. 1500-1580) was an
Ottoman general and statesman.
He had risen to the position of
Beylerbey of
Damascus and then to that of Fifth
Vizier. He commanded the Ottoman land forces during the
Siege of Malta in 1565, during the conquest of previously
Venetian Cyprus in 1570/71, and in the campaign against
Georgia in 1578. He later was (briefly)
Grand Vizier from 28 April to 7 August 1580 (see
List of Ottoman Grand Viziers).
The honorific "Lala" means "tutor to the Sultan"; he'd been tutor to the Sultan's sons. Mustafa was known for his cruelty towards vanquished opponents, a reputation that was amply borne out by his treatment of
Marco Antonio Bragadin, the Venetian defender of
Famagusta, whom he'd skinned alive; in response to Venetian treatment of Turkish prisoners captured during the campaign.
