The rebellions called Jelali Revolts inflicted great damage throughout Anatolia at the turn of the 16th century and in the early 17th century. Former studies have already treated this destruction in general, however, new documents from archival records give some clues about the details of the destruction. This study is formed by using the records kept by kadis after the destruction in Kütahya perpetrated by Tavil Hail. The study focuses on two points using sources that have not been used before. The first one is the destruction in Kütahya perpetrated by Tavil Halil during Jelali Revolts. Two different aspects of this destruction will be treated. The first one is social destruction, in other words the rapes and attacks suffered by the society. The second one is economic hardships faced by the people due to extraordinary taxes imposed on the people of this province by Nasuh Pasha who had been sent to confront the Jelalis and had to retreat to Kütahya after an unsuccessful effort to stop Tavil Halil. Thus we will emphasize the hardships faced by ehl-i örf and reaya as well as the problems caused by Jelali Revolts. The second subject in this study is the economic loss in the province of Kütahya caused by Jelali revolts. In this context we will try to determine the decrease in tax income collected by the state.
