Aganlija
Aganlija (Serbian Cyrillic: Аганлија; fl. 1801–1804) was an Ottoman janissary leader who defected and along with three other janissary leaders took control over the Sanjak of Smederevo in 1801. These renegade janissaries were known as the Dahije.
The four leading Dahije,
subaşi (village overseers) that had been employed by the dahije, and also attacking Ottoman forces.[4] The dahije sent out the most diplomatic, Aganlija, with a strong force to frighten and calm them down, in order to avoid escalation into armed conflict which would be hard for the janissaries to manage, but to no avail.[3]
Aganlija and his entourage was
nahiyas in the sanjak, as well as two nahiyas in the Sanjak of Zvornik.[7]
