* Halil Inalcik.

Halil Inalcik, the leading historian of the Ottoman Empire, applied his ideas to peasant land tenure in the Ottoman Empire.

Sultan Ahmed III had become unpopular by reason of the excessive pomp and costly luxury in which he and his principal officers indulged ; on September 20, 1730, a mutinous riot of seventeen janissaries, led by the Albanian Patrona Halil, was aided by the citizens as well as the military until it swelled into an insurrection in front of which the Sultan was forced to give up the throne.

It contained hit songs " Halil İbrahim Sofrası " and " Kol Düğmeleri ", a new version of the artist's very first song.

" Halil İbrahim Sofrası " exemplified Manço's signature moral themed lyrics, a rare feature in Turkish pop music.

He was the son of Halil Hoxha, a Bektashi Tosk cloth merchant who travelled widely across Europe and the United States of America, and Gjylihan ( Gjylo ) Hoxha.

Halil İnalcık reports that even though he was a ruthless supporter of alcohol prohibition, Murat IV was a habitual drinker.

** Khalil or Halil ( 1347-d. 1362 ).

Halil married Irene, who was a daughter of John V Palaeologus and Helena Cantakouzene.

Married her first cousin Halil of Bithynia.

On 28 September 1730, Patrona Halil with a small group of fellow Janissaries aroused some of the citizens of Constantinople who opposed the reforms of Ahmet III.

Sweeping up more soldiers Halil led the riot to the Topkapı Palace and demanded the death of the grand vizer, Nevşehirli Damat İbrahim Pasha and the abdication of Ahmet III.

Halil rode with the new sultan to the Mosque of Eyub where the ceremony of girding Mahmud I with the Sword of Osman was performed ; many of the chief officers were deposed and successors to them appointed at the dictation of the bold rebel who had served in the ranks of the Janissaries and who appeared before the sultan bare-legged and in his old uniform of a common soldier.

A Greek butcher, named Yanaki, had formerly given credit to Halil and had lent him money during the three days of the insurrection.

Halil showed his gratitude by compelling the Divan to make Yanaki Hospodar of Moldavia.

On 24 November 1731, Halil was strangled by the sultan's order and in his presence, after a Divan in which Halil had dictated that war be declared against Russia.

The jealousy which the officers of the Janissaries felt towards Halil, and their readiness to aid in his destruction, facilitated the exertions of Mahmud I's supporters in putting an end to the rebellion after it had lasted over a year.

Damad Gurcu Muhammad Halil Rifat Pasha ( 1795-4 March 1856 ), Ambassador to Russia 1829-1830, Naval C-in-C 1830-1832, 1843-1845, 1847-1848 and 1854-1855, Supreme C-in-C 1836-1838 and 1839-1840, Governor-General of Anatolia 1852.

The first of these Ottoman Viziers who was titled " Grand Vizier " was Çandarlı Kara Halil Hayreddin Pasha.

Major epics include Mujo and Halil and Halil and Hajrije.

Greek pilot Kostas Iliakis was killed, and the Turkish pilot Halil İbrahim Özdemir bailed out and was rescued by a cargo ship.

Although the Tulip period ended with the Patrona Halil uprising, it became a model for attitudes of Westernization.
