Abstract:

The Ottoman governors of the Balkan provinces are rare topic of historical studies. They are the official rulers of those territories. That is why it is important to see their personalities and careers and the eventual impact in the provinces. The analysis of Rumelian governors’ careers shows that there is no “specialization” among the provincial governors they are successful rulers in Balkans as well as in Anatolia. Some of them had local origin.
