Mesih Pasha or Misac Pasha was an Ottoman statesman of Byzantine Greek origin, being a nephew of the last Roman emperor, Constantine XI Palaiologos. He served as Kapudan Pasha of the Ottoman Navy and was Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire in 1501. Mesih was related to the last ruling dynasty of the Byzantine Empire. According to the 16th-century Ecthesis Chronica, he was the son of a certain Gidos Palaiologos, identified by the contemporary Historia Turchesca as a brother of a Byzantine emperor; this emperor is held to have been Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last Byzantine emperor, killed during the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1453. If true, since Constantine XI died childless, had the Ottomans failed to conquer Constantinople, Mesih or Hass Murad might have succeeded him. Instead, Mesih rose to become one of the most powerful men in the state that destroyed the Byzantine Empire; the Byzanto-Italian chronicler Theodore Spandounes, who claimed that Mesih was the brother of his own paternal grandmother, wrote that Mesih was ten years old at the time of Constantinople's fall.

He and two of his brothers, one of whom was Hass Murad Pasha, were captured, converted to Islam, raised as pages under the auspices of Sultan Mehmed II, as part of the devşirme system. Mesih is first attested in historical accounts in 1470, by which time he was the sanjak bey of Gallipoli; as the chief Ottoman naval base, the post entailed command over much of the Ottoman fleet. In this capacity he distinguished himself in the Ottoman conquest of Euboea from the Venetians during the Ottoman–Venetian War of 1463–1479. However, Venetian archives document that soon after he offered to surrender Gallipoli and its fleet to Venice, in exchange for 40,000 gold ducats and the possibility to become ruler over the Morea, which had long been a semi-autonomous despotate under the Palaiologoi emperors. Mesih was raised to the rank of vizier in the central imperial government in 1476 or early 1477, his failure to take Rhodes led to his dismissal from the vizierate, but he retained his governorship of Gallipoli and his post as commander-in-chief of the navy.

The late 16th-century historian Münejjim Bashi includes Mesih among Mehmed II's Grand Viziers, but this is most a confusion due to his post as vizier during this period. Following the death of Mehmed II, the leading devşirme military officials were able to place Bayezid II on the throne; as a leading member of this faction, Mesih returned to the divan as vizier. Relying on the support of the Janissaries, the chief devşirme leader, the Grand Vizier Gedik Ahmed Pasha, flaunted his power and was said to be sympathetic to Bayezid's rival half-brother, Cem. Mesih, on the other hand, was careful to earn Bayezid's trust and opposing Cem's claims. In summer 1482, Bayezid had Gedik Ahmed imprisoned in the palace. In response, the enraged Janissaries invaded the palace, Mesih was sent to negotiate with them, he was able to appease them by promising, among other things, that only members of the devşirme would become viziers. Mesih thus demonstrated both his loyalty and his diplomatic skills, managed to become one of a small group of devşirme officials who henceforth came to dominate the divan.

In order to counterbalance them, Bayezid began sending trusted chief eunuchs to important provincial governorships. Mesih's diplomatic credentials were further burnished when Cem fled to the Knights Hospitaller in Rhodes. In the ensuing negotiations, Gedik Ahmed took up an intransigent stance, but Mesih managed to find a mutually acceptable compromise, further elevating him in the eyes of the Sultan. Mesih's support within the palace allowed him to weather the deposition and execution of Gedik Ahmed on 18 November 1482. By February 1483, he had advanced to second vizier within the divan; some sources suggest that he succeeded Ishak Pasha as Grand Vizier in autumn 1483, remaining in the post until 1485, but most historians consider that Davud Pasha held the position during that time, with Mesih as his deputy, as is recorded in contemporary documents. For unknown reasons, in January 1485 Mesih fell into disfavour with Bayezid and was dismissed again from the vizierate, being demoted to subashi of Filibe.

He was sent to Kaffa, a popular place of exile for disgraced officials, as its sanjak bey. He remained there until replaced in 1489, is next mentioned in 1497 as sanjak bey of Akkerman. In the latter post he was instrumental in stopping a Polish action in Moldavia during the Polish–Ottoman War ), regained imperial favour by dispatching captured Polish nobles and 29 captured standards to Bayezid. Following his victory, Mesih performed the pilgrimage to Mecca in 1499; this seems to confirm reports of Mesih's religiosity—Spandounes wrote that "he was a fierce enemy of the Christians"—particularly since no other Ottoman viziers or sultans of the period performed the pilgrimage due to the heavy demands of office. In addition, as Halil İnalcık suggests, the pilgrimage was an excellent excuse to leave his post and visit Constantinople, where to work for his recall. Indeed, with another Ottoman–Venetian war having broken out, Mesih's naval expertise and knowledge of the Venetians led to his reinstatement as second vizier in the divan upon his return from Mecca, under the Grand Vizier Yakub Pasha.

In spring 1501, Mesih was named Grand Vizi

Banner Lane was the site of a wartime shadow factory in Coventry, run by Standard Motor Company and dedicated to making Bristol Hercules aero engines. The war-surplus plant was taken over by Standard in 1946 to make Ferguson tractors and it was made Standard's registered office. After the 1959 sale of Standard's part-ownership of the tractor partnership to Massey Ferguson, it became Massey Ferguson's base for tractor-building operations until production ceased in 2002 and the site was redeveloped for housing. In May 1939, the Air Ministry sought a facility to manufacture Bristol Hercules aero engines and construction of a plant commenced that year on an 80-acre green-field site just outside Coventry. With over 1 million square feet of floor space, the Banner Lane site was one of the largest shadow factories erected at Government expense, costing £1.7 million to build and set up for production. The new plant luckily missed the summer and autumn 1940 bombing raids of the Coventry Blitz and was functioning before the end of that year.

Its curious similarity to other shadow factories was because the buildings were designed by the Government's own architects. The business was run, for a £40,000 per annum management fee, by Standard Motor Company enabling products and plant to benefit from Standard's expertise in making similar, if much less complex, products. With some of the parts being produced at Rover's shadow factory at Acocks Green, the Hercules engines were complex machines of 38.7 litres capacity having 14 cylinders in two radial rows using sleeve valves rather than poppet valves, with an output of 1,290–1,735 horsepower depending on application. When production ended in 1945 more than 20,000 Hercules engines had been built. Other wartime products managed by Standard but made at Canley, the location of a further shadow factory nearby, included the Bristol Beaufighter and De Havilland Mosquito twin-engined fighter bombers together with a variety of other matériel. After the war the shadow factory was no longer required by Bristol.

However, discussions between Standard and Harry Ferguson in 1945 to build Ferguson tractors in the UK resulted in Standard signing a 10-year lease for the Banner Lane plant costing £36,000 per annum. The intention was to build up to 500 tractors per day for which Standard would receive a fee for each one produced, from mid-1946 until the end of 1947 over 20,800 new tractors had been built. At the height of production over 6,000 people were employed, in 10 years more than 500,000 Ferguson TE tractors had been produced at Banner Lane. Disagreements between Standard and Ferguson culminated in Standard breaking all connections with both Ferguson and tractor production in the summer of 1959. By this time Harry Ferguson Ltd had formed a merger with Massey Harris to become Massey-Harris-Ferguson shortened to Massey Ferguson. All Standard's tractor assets were sold to Massey Ferguson as of 31 August 1959 and Banner Lane entered the sole ownership of Massey Ferguson. By 2000, the plant covered 1.8 million ft2 and tractor output was in excess of 70,000 per annum, the majority for export.

In order to rationalise production it was decided that either Beauvais or Banner Lane would be shut down, but pressure from the French Government and workers made Beauvais the more difficult of the two to close, sealing Banner Lane's fate. Production came to an end on Christmas Eve 2002 when the last tractor, number 3,307,996 was completed; the enormous task of decommissioning, demolition of the plant and site clearance ended with the demolition of the 16-storey tower block on 8 July 2012 using high-explosive charges. And a housing development called Bannerbrook Park now occupies the site on which it has been planned to build in the region of 1,000 new homes, together with an entire infrastructure including shops and a school. A Massey Ferguson memorial to the tractor production facility has been erected on the site.
