Lala (title)
Lala ( fa, لا لا, tr, Lala, az, Lələ) was a Turkish and Persian title (of Persian origin) meaning ''tutor'' and ''statesman'' in the Ottoman and Safavid Empire. History In Ottoman tradition, lalas were the experienced statesmen who were assigned as the tutors of young princes ( tr, Şehzade). While still teenagers, the princes were sent to provinces (sanjak) as provincial governors ( tr, sanjak bey). They were accompanied by their lalas who trained them in statesmanship. The purpose of this practice was to prepare the princes for the future duty of regency. Later, when the prince was enthroned as the sultan his lala was usually promoted to be a vizier. Up to the 13th sultan Mehmet III (the end of the 16th century) all sultans enjoyed a period of provincial governorship prior to their reign. However, 14th sultan Ahmed I (1603–1617) who was enthroned in early teens without a period of provincial governorship, banned this practice. This meant the decrease in the s ...
