	Sanjak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition to the paid professional army, the Ottoman army had corps of cavalry soldiers (called spahis or sipahi) who performed military service in return for estates granted by the sultan (larger estates were called zaim or zeamet, smaller ones timar).
		Spahis gathered for war according to the Sanjak in which they lived, and were led by an official called a Sanjak-beg or Sanjakbey (roughly equivalent to "district governor").
		With the formation of new first-level divisions, the beylerbeyliks (later eyalets and vilayets), in the late 14th century, sanjaks were mostly second level divisions.

	Bey - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		They are all the same word with the simple meaning of "leader." The regions or provinces where beys ruled or which they administered were called beylik, roughly meaning "emirate" or "principality" in the first case, "province" or "governorate" in the second.
		Henceforth "bey" was applied to a military governor (especially sanjakbey; compare vali) of or district commissioner in an Ottoman vilayet or province.
		With the loose Ottoman structure, important provinces tended to become self-sustaining and autonomous.

	CROATS AND THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE - HERCEG BOSNA :: Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina ::
		Having reached the river Neretva and having conquered Herzegovina in 1482, the Ottomans found their way toward Croatia, skilfully avoiding the fortified towns.
		The central government allowed their border officers, the so-called sanjakbeys and the Border commanders to plunder the area as they wanted, inflicting thus enormous suffering and damage to the local population and Croatia on the whole.
		In order to stop such invasions, in 1493 the Croats rallied their troops under the command of Viceroy Emerik Derencin at Krbava field (Krbavsko polje), waiting there for the return of the Bosnian sanjakbey Hadum Jakub-Pasha from one of his plundering campaigns.

	Kosovo and Metohija
		Mainly of Albanian nationality, Catholic bishops from Skopje helped in the settlement of their fellow tribesmen and encouraged them in their attacks on the Serbian Orthodox population.
		From the middle of the 18th century, within the administrative apparatus of Kosovo and Metohija, all of the most important positions, up to the position of sanjakbey, were occupied by Albanians.
		The weakening of authority within the central government helped their rise to the positions of autocratic, semi-mde-pendent rulers, who managed the lives and estates of the Serbian population.

		As for the remainder of the fleet at Basrah, Kubad Pasha had offered the command of it to the Chief Officer, but he had declined, and returned to Egypt by land.
		When this became known in Constantinople the command of the fleet had been given to Murad Bey, formerly Sanjakbey of Catif, then residing in Basrah.
		He was ordered to leave two ships, five galleys, and one galleon at Basrah, and with the rest, i.e., 15 galleys (one galley had been burned in Basrah) and two boats, he was to return to Egypt.
