Mahmud Pasha (governor)
Mahmud Pasha (died 1567) was an
Egypt Eyalet from 1566 until his assassination by gunfire in 1567.[2]
He was described as an "unscrupulous," corrupt, but wealthy official with "the riches of the al-Nazaris in his possession."[3] He reportedly disliked his successor for the governorship of Yemen, Ridwan Pasha, and purposefully made his job harder with actions he took just before his removal from office.[4]
As the governor of Egypt, Mahmud Pasha had the Al-Mahmoudia Mosque built in Cairo, which still stands today.[4]
