Career

Bosnia

From 1495 to 1496, Feriz was sanjak-beg of the Sanjak of Bosnia.Шаблон:Sfn His predecessor Jahja Pasha built a mosque in Sarajevo during his reign in Bosnia (1494–95) but did not provide a water supply to it. According to a legend, he asked his successor, Firuz Bey to do so from Sedrenik to the Jahja Pasha mosque. Firuz Bey did so and also built a public tap in honour of his predecessor.[1]

Scutari

Feriz Beg held the position of Sanjak-bey of the Sanjak of Scutari from 1496 to 1502.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Đurađ Crnojević who controlled the neighboring Principality of Zeta maintained frequent correspondence with other Christian feudal states with the intention of establishing an anti-Ottoman coalition. When his brother Stefan betrayed him to the Ottomans in 1496,Шаблон:Sfn Đurađ proposed to accept the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire and Firuz Bey if they allowed him to remain as governor in Zeta. Firuz Bey refused this proposal and invited Đurađ to either come to Scutari to clarify his anti-Ottoman activities or to flee Zeta. When Firuz Bey attacked Zeta with strong forces in 1496 Đurađ was forced to flee to Venice.Шаблон:Sfn In 1497, Firuz Bey captured Grbalj and put Zeta under his effective military control, although it was still part of the Zeta governed by Stefan Crnojević.Шаблон:Sfn In 1499, Firuz Bey formally annexed Zeta to the territory of Sanjak of Scutari,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn after he became suspicious of Stefan because of his connections with Venice. Firuz Bey invited Stefan Crnojević to Skadar where he imprisoned him.
