Karaca Pasha
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Karaca Pasha was the Beylerbeyi of Rumelia during Mehmed the Conqueror's reign and played a role in the conquest of Constantinople.[1] His nickname was dayı, meaning "uncle" in Turkish, as he was the brother of the mother of Aladdin, one of Mehmed's sons. He made a reputation for himself in the Battle of Varna during the reign of Murad II. He died during the siege of Belgrade in 1456. Karacabey District in Bursa is named after him.[2][better source needed][3][better source needed]
