Nevşehirli Damad Ibrahim Pasha

For other uses, see Ibrahim Pasha (disambiguation).

Nevşehirli Damad Ibrahim Pasha (1666 – October 16, 1730) served as Grand Vizier for Sultan Ahmed III of the Ottoman Empire during the Tulip period. He was also the head of a ruling family which had great influence in the court of Ahmed III. The epithet "Nevşehirli" (meaning "from Nevşehir") is used to distinguish this Grand Vizier from another, Damad Ibrahim Pasha (died 1601).

The abilities of Sultan Ahmed’s Grand Vizier Ibrahim, who directed the government from 1718 to 1730, preserved an unusual internal peace in the empire, though the frontier provinces were often the scenes of disorder and revolt. This was repeatedly the case in Egypt and Arabia, and still more frequently in the districts northward and eastward of the Black Sea, especially among the fierce Noghai tribes of the Kuban. The state of the countries between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea was rendered still more unsettled by the rival claims of Russia and the Porte; it was difficult to define a boundary between the two empires in pursuance of the partition treaty of 1723. The Tulip period, called Lâle Devri (the Tulip epoch) was a time of extravagant garden-fetes and sumptuous entertainments. So that in 1730, Tahmasp II of Persia attacked the Ottoman possession, the Empire was completely unprepared. Infuriated by the Grand Vizier’s venality, by the Sultan’s life of inordinate luxury—‘which was rendered the more distasteful to his subjects by its faintly European flavor’—and by his hesitation in taking up the Persian challenge, the people and troops in Istanbul revolted. They were led by Patrona Halil, an ex-Janissary from Albania. The Sultan sacrificed Ibrahim and other Viziers to the mob in order to save himself.

Marriage and children

Ibrahim Pasha was married to the daughter of the sultan, Princess Fatma, in 1717 when the Princess was fourteen years old and Ibrahim was fifty years old. Although Princess Fatma and İbrahim Pasha never had any children, İbrahim Pasha had other children from previous marriages.
