Köprülü Fazıl Ahmed

Albanian grand vizier of the Ottoman Empire

1635 CE to 1676 CE

Köprülü Fazıl Ahmed Pasha (1635 – October 19, 1676), of the Köprülü family, is an Albanian grand vizier of the Ottoman Empire from 1661 when he inherits the title from his father Mehmed Köprülü.

He is dubbed Fazıl, meaning fair-minded, for reducing taxation and promoting education.

On the other hand, he is fierce in war.

He leads the Ottoman Army in the Austro-Turkish War (1663-1664) and captures Candia (present day Heraklion) in 1669 and signs the Treaty of Zurawno on October 16, 1676.
