Hassan Pacha (the son of Arudj) created the Al-Taitri Baylik or the Beylik of Titteri in 1546 appointing a certain "Recep Bey" as its first governor.

[5] In 1831, after a few defeats, the French governor of Algeria, Bertrand Clauzel, decided to crush the Beylik of Titteri, and sent a large military detachment to capture Médéa.

During the Battle of Mouzaïa, the forces of Titteri were defeated,[6] which gave way for the French to invade Médéa.

The Médéa expedition of 1830 resulted in a decisive French victory which temporarily put an end to the Beylik of Titteri.

[7] In 1831, a son of Mustefa Boumezrag, took over the city of Médéa, and announced himself as the new bey, although the French quickly put an end to his revolt.
