Kara Mustafa Pasha

Kara Mustafa Pasha was an Ottoman grand vizier of the late seventeenth century. He led the Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683, which was broken by a relief army under Jan III Sobieski. The defeat led to his execution and began a long series of Ottoman territorial losses in central Europe.
