Hussein Khodja Dey or Hassan Khodja Dey was the 8th ruler and Dey of Algiers. He ruled one year after his predecessor Hadj Moustapha.[1]
Rule
[edit]After the death of his predecessor and his election, he executed Moustapha's wife and daughter and after using all his fortune to satisfy the militia, he would also manage to get a ransom of 150,000 piastres by the old Bey Ibrahim el-Sharif of Tunis. But as his fortune drained out, he would be unable to pay the Janissaries, and would be deposed the 4th March 1707.[2]
