Biographical Text

"Ali Pasha (1741-1822), beginning with nothing more than his stronghold at Tepelene, had risen to be despot of most of Albania, Epirus, and modern Greece to the Gulf of Corinth by a combination of brigandage, matrimonial alliances, and shrewd manipulation of rivals. In 1798 he had been made a pasha of three tails, or vizier, by the sultan of the Ottoman Empire, to
whom he owed nominal allegiance." BB 83n
