The city of Požega was taken by Yahyapaşazade Mehmed Bey [tr], the Sanjakbey of Semendire (Smederevo), most likely on January 15, 1537, and the citadel was taken ten days later.

[1] By early 1538, the Sanjak of Pojega was created and, after the Battle of Gorjani, Mehmed Bey's son Arslan [tr] was appointed the first sanjakbey.

[3] The Sanjak of Pojega included territory between Sava and Drava rivers and at first was part of the Rumelia Eyalet.

[5] Turks to deserted area of Požega Valley settled Orthodox Vlachs from Bosnia.

Because of the mutiny, the decision from 1600 was changed and Sanjak of Pojega became a condominium shared between Bosnia and Kanije eyalets.
