Revolt · 1606
Canbolatoğlu Ali Pasha, bey of Kilis, took over his uncle's forces and soon dominated the region (1606). The government, busy with the wars against Iran and Austria, gave him the governorship of Aleppo to hold him off, but could not prevent his revolt. Ali Pasha besieged Tripoli, defeated the Damascus troops and settled in Aleppo. After peace was made with Austria, Kuyucu Murad Pasha marched against him. In a hard battle on the plain of Oruç on 24 October 1607, Canbolatoğlu, allied with the Druze chief Fakhr al-Din Maʿn and commanding more than 30,000 musketeers, was defeated and fled first to Kilis and then to Aleppo.

Abolishing fratricide in favour of seniority was the dynasty's most lasting legal change. Having to treat Austria as an equal at Zsitvatorok was the first official admission that Ottoman supremacy over Europe had ended.
