{"product_id":"9786139904945","title":"Mezzo Morto H Seyin Pasha","description":"Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hassan Mezzomorto (Turkish: Mezomorto Hüseyin Paşa; died 1701) or Hajji Husain Mezzomorto (Turkish: Hacı Hüseyin Mezomorto) was an Ottoman corsair, bey, and finally Kapudan Pasha (grand admiral) of the Ottoman Navy. His epithet mezzomorto is the Italian for \"half-dead\", acquired during a fight when he was gravely injured. Possibly Turkish[1] or converted Christian from Mallorca, Hassan was mentioned as a captain in 1674. He rose to prominence during the French attacks on Algiers in the early 1680s. He was present for Abraham Duquesne's 1682 bombardment and commanded a fleet of corsairs the next year. The bey of Algiers Baba Hassan offered him as a hostage to the French, but Hassan Mezzomorto killed Baba Hassan and named himself as his replacement. During the 1684 bombardment, he signed a \"100 year\" treaty with Abraham Duquesne and was possibly confirmed in his post as beylerbey.","brand":"Culp Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064686690544,"sku":"9786139904945","price":36.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9786139904945_p0.jpg?v=1763721037","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9786139904945","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
