List of Ottoman Grand Viziers

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Grand Vizier, was the greatest minister of the Sultan in the Ottoman Empire, with absolute power of attorney and, in principle, dismissable only by the Sultan himself. He held the imperial seal and could convene all other viziers to attend to affairs of the state; the viziers in conference were called "Kubbealtı viziers" in reference to their meeting place, the Kubbealtı ('under the dome') in Topkapı Palace. His offices were located at the Sublime Porte. During the nascent phases of the Ottoman state, "Vizier" was the only title used. The first of these Ottoman Viziers who was titled "Grand Vizier" was andarlı Kara Halil Hayreddin Pasha. The purpose in instituting the title "Grand Vizier" was to distinguish the holder of the Sultan's seal from other viziers. The initially more frequently used title of vezir-i zam was gradually replaced by sadrazam, both meaning grand vizier in practice. Throughout Ottoman history, the grand viziers have also been termed sadr-ı l ('high vizier'), vekil-i mutlak ('absolute attorney'), s hib-i devlet ('holder of the state'), serdar-ı ekrem, serdar-ı azam and z t-ı saf ('vizieral person'). This is the list of Grand Viziers of the Ottoman Empire.
