KprlThe Kprl (also Kiuprili, Koprili and Kuprili) was an Ottoman noble family of Albanian origin. The family is notable for having seven of its members being Ottoman Grand Viziers. They provoked reforms and were very competent, but couldn't stop the empire's downfall (see also the Treaty of Karlowitz). 1 Kara Mustafa was adopted by the Kprl family and was Ahmed Kprl's brother-in-law. Kprl is also the Turkish name for a Macedonian town called Velissa in Greek.
