About Emir Mehmed Pasha
Lived 1501 – 1601 (aged 99–100). Emir Mehmed Pasha was a Turkish.
In the Ottoman Empire, Muhammad's descendants formed a kind of nobility with the privilege of wearing green turbans. Seyyid Emir Mehmed Pasha , known by the epithet "al-Sharif" among his Arab subjects, was an Ottoman statesman who served as defterdar (finance minister) (1589–1593, 1595), Ottoman governor of Egypt (1596–1598), and Ottoman governor of Damascus (1599–1600).
He was a descendant of Hussein ibn Ali, earning him the epithet "sayyid." While he was the governor of Egypt (with the title beylerbey, often known as viceroy), he was reportedly a frequent visitor of the Al-Hussein Mosque in Cairo. In 1599, he became a vizier.
