Isak-Beg
Ishak Bey or Isak-Beg was the second ruler of Bosansko Krajište (a part of Bosnia and Herzegovina that was on the border of the Ottoman Empire, but not under its firm control in period between 1392 and 1463) from 1414 to 1439. According to some sources he was a member of Hranušić family, released slave and adopted son of Pasha Yiğit Bey.[1] That is disputed with opinion that Pasha Yigit-Beg was indeed a biological father of Isak-Beg.[2]
Ishak was appointed ruler by Porte when Foča, Čajniče, Pljevlja and Nevesinje were the only towns in Bosnia controlled by the Ottoman Empire, and Bosnia was not established as a sanjak of the Empire. In that period Foča was the center of Bosansko Krajište and the foothold for further Ottoman expansion in Bosnia, Dalmatia and Slavonia.
In 1418 Ishak Bey captured Priboj, a town first mentioned in written documents on this occasion.[3] In November 1443 he commanded one of Ottoman armies during the Battle of Niš which ended with Ottoman defeat.[4]
Sultan appointed Himmetizade Nesuh Bey to be new ruler of Bosansko Krajište in period between 1439 and 1454 when Isa-Beg Isaković, Ishak Bey's son and ruler of Skopsko Krajište took over control over Bosansko Krajište also for period 1454—1463. His grandson Gazi Mehmed Bey Isaković was sanjak-bey of Bosnian Sanjak in period 1484–1485.
He built the Ishak Bey Mosque in Skopje, where his tomb is also located.

It is therefore evident that Ishak Beg and Turakhan Beg were sons of Pasha Yigit Beg, i.e. were brothers." [1]
