The Orthodox branch included patriarchs Makarije Sokolović, Antonije Sokolović, Gerasim Sokolović and Savatije Sokolović. The Muslim branch included Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, the Ottoman Grand Vizier, Sokolluzade Lala Mehmed Pasha Grand vizier (1602-1604), Sokollu Ferhad Pasha the Beylerbey of Bosnia, and Sokollu Mustafa Pasha the beylerbey of Budin.
