Trachea was occupied by the Osmanlis in the 15th century, but Cilicia
Pedias was only added to the empire in 1515.
From 1833 to 1840 Cilicia formed part of the territories administered by
Mehemet Ali of Cairo, who was compelled to evacuate it by the allied
powers. Since that date it has formed the vilayet of Adana (q.v.).

CILLI, ULRICH, COUNT OF (1406-1456), son of Frederick II., count of
Cilli, and Elizabeth Frangepan. Of his youth we know nothing certain.
About 1432 he married Catherine, daughter of George Brankovich, despot
of Servia.
His influence in the troubled affairs of Hungary and the Empire early
overshadowed that of his father, together with whom he was made a prince

(1439) Ulrich took up the cause of his widow Elizabeth, and presided at
the coronation of her infant son Ladislaus V. Posthumus (1440). A feud
with the Hunyadis followed, embittered by John Hunyadi's attack on
George Brankovich of Servia (1444) and his refusal to recognize Ulrich's
claim to Bosnia on the death of Stephen Tvrtko (1443). In 1446 Hunyadi,
