Hain Ahmed Pasha, appointed as the Ottoman governor of Egypt in 1523, and disappointed that he had not been made grand vizier and his rival Pargalı Ibrahim Pasha had been made in his place, declares himself the Sultan of Egypt and Egypt independent from the Ottoman Empire.

He strikes coins with his own face and name in January 1524 in order to legitimize his power and captures Cairo Citadel and the local Ottoman garrisons.

After surviving an assassination attempt in his bath by two emirs that he had previously sacked, however, he flees Cairo and is finally captured by the Ottoman Empire and executed by decapitation.

His rebellion created a short period of instability in the nascent Egypt Eyalet.
