The Age of Fâzıl Ahmed Pasha
The grand vizier under whom the commander of the sipahis served, Köprülüzâde Fâzıl Ahmed Pasha, was born in 1635-36 in the town of Köprü (Vezirköprü), attached to Amasya, and after his father Köprülü Mehmed Pasha he held the grand vizierate for more than fifteen years. About nine of those years were spent on campaign. Wars were fought against Austria, Venice (Crete) and Poland in this period. Hüsameddin's words "took part in many battles" fit these long campaign years; but which campaigns İsmâil Ağa served in is not stated in the text or in the sources read.
Family and Could Not Be Verified
No information was found in other sources on his father Sandûkîzâde Abdülcelil Efendi, on İsmâil Ağa himself or on his endowment of cash. Searches for the family Hüsameddin calls "Sandûkîzâde" gave no result. No document other than Hüsameddin's own record was found for the waqf.
