Many Albanian converts to Islam migrate elsewhere within the Ottoman Empire in the early seventeenth century and find careers in the Ottoman military and government.
Some attain powerful positions in the Ottoman administration.
About thirty Albanians rise to the position of grand vizier, chief deputy to the sultan himself.
In the second half of the seventeenth century, the Albanian Kopriilu family provides four grand viziers, who fight against corruption, temporarily shore up eroding central government control over rapacious local beys, and win several military victories.
