Description
The Ottoman Empire, apart from its firm rule and notorious harems, is also remembered for an unusual practice known as "blood tribute" or "devširm". Blood tribute was a system of collecting healthy and strong boys from conquered Christian lands in the Ottoman Empire, as a form of taxation, with the aim of creating a loyal slave army.One of the most famous Janissaries was Mehmed Pasha Sokolovi?. He was born in 1505 in the village of Sokolovi?i, near present-day Rudo (Republic of Srpska). He was born into a Serbian Orthodox family as Bajica Nenadic.
