About Kethüda Hasan Paşa

Lived 1800 – 1810. Kethüda Hasan Paşa was a Turkish politician, statesperson and writer.

Cenaze Hasan Pasha (; also known as Meyyit Hasan Pasha or Kethüda Hasan Pasha; died 1810) was a short-term Ottoman grand vizier in 1789. His epithet Cenaze (or Meyyit) means "corpse" because he was ill when appointed to the post.

He was instrumental in putting down the Orlov revolt and was successful during the Austro-Turkish War of 1788–1791. Due to his previous military success, he was promoted to Grand Vizier in 1789 and led Ottoman troops during the Russo-Turkish War of 1787–1792.

As a grand vizier On 28 May 1789, he was appointed as the grand vizier (highest rank of the empire other than that of the sultan). But he was sick in bed when he received the sultan's letter of appointment, and so he was nicknamed Cenaze (corpse).

Later years He was appointed as the governor of Rusçuk (now Ruse in Bulgaria). But later he was exiled to Bozcaada (a Turkish island). In 1792, he was pardoned and appointed as the governor of Silistra (now in Bulgaria). Later he was transferred to various cities such as Chania, Heraklion (both in Crete island), Bender (now in Moldova) and Khotyn (now in Ukraine). While he was in Khotyn, he fell prisoner to the Russians in the newly begun Russo-Turkish War (1806–1812). After the peace treaty, he retired and died in Larissa in 1810.
