Hüseyin Pasha Boljanić

Hüseyin Pasha Boljanić (Turkish: Bodur Hüseyin Paşa "Hüseyin Pasha the Short"; Bosnian: Husein-paša Boljanić or Husein Boljanić; died 1595) was an Ottoman statesman and government official who served many high-level positions in the Ottoman Empire, including governorship (beylerbey or wāli) of Bosnia (1569–72, 1594–95), of Damascus (1582–83), of Diyarbekir, of Budin, of Aleppo, of Van, of Anatolia, and of Egypt (1573–74).

Hüseyin was born in the village of Boljanići, close to the city of Pljevlja, (now in Montenegro), born to the then-famed Boljanić family. He had three brothers, named Sinan, Ali, and Davud, and two sisters, Maksûme and Zulkâde. His older brother Sinan married the sister of grand vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, which gave Hüseyin important connections throughout his life. Sokollu Mehmed Pasha took young Hüseyin to Istanbul, the capital of the empire, to be educated for joining the bureaucracy in the Enderun palace school. He was described and nicknamed as bodur, meaning "short" in Turkish.
