Koca Sinan Pasha
After governoring Herzegovina, in March 1569 he became the governor (sanjak-bey) of the Sanjak of Bosnia. He then became the beylerbey of Diyarbekir in 1572. Before long, he became a vizier and was appointed the governor of Egypt Eyalet in 1573. Succeeding Koca Sinan Pasha as the governor of Egypt and only holding the office for around a year, he was described by a European source as "affectionate to men of learning, of a mild and modest disposition, and highly averse to all cruelty."; however, such qualities were anachronistic for that time, as tensions in Egypt between the governor, the sipahis of the army, and the local Mamluks were rising; the same source recounts that robberies and bandits ran abound during his term. He then returned to Istanbul in 1574.
