Osman Pasha the Bosnian
Osman Pasha the Bosnian (Turkish: Boşnak Osman Paşa; died 1 August 1685) or the Herzegovinian (Turkish: Hersekli Osman Paşa) was an Ottoman statesman who served as the governor (wali) of the Damascus Eyalet (1676–1678, 1683), of Anatolia Eyalet (1678–1680), of Egypt Eyalet (1680–1683), of Diyarbekir Eyalet (1683), of Bosnia Eyalet (1684), and of Eğri Eyalet (1685).[1][2] His byname suggests that he hailed from the Sanjak of Bosnia or the Sanjak of Herzegovina.
While governor of the Eğri Eyalet (English: Eger) during the Great Turkish War, he was caught outside of the walls of the Castle of Eger when the Austrians began their siege, dying on August 1, 1685.[1]
