According to some sources he was a member of the BosnianHranušić family, releasedslave and adopted son ofPasha Yiğit Bey.[2] It is very possible that in the spirit of the customs of the time, his brotherSandalj Hranić sent him to the sultan's court as a political and diplomatic move as a sign of loyalty to the emperor.[3] His biological father wasHrana Vuković, his full name is Ishak Bey Hranić and according to whom Ishak's most famous son Isa Bey, along with his father's and grandfather'spatronymic, will be - Isa Bey Ishaković Hranušić.[4] Ishak Bey is the founder of the Ottoman branch of the aristocratic BosnianKosača -Isabegović[5] family.

In1420 Ishak Bey organized a successful private campaign in Bosnia to supportbrother's struggle against his enemies.[6] He executed Sandalj's opponent Petar Pavlovic and then Ishak Bey divided conquered territory with Sandalj.
In attempt to relieve Ottoman pressure during theSiege of Thessalonica Venice inspiredGjon Kastrioti to rebel against Ottomans in 1428. After Ottomans captured Thessalonica in April 1430 their forces led by Ishak bey captured most of Gjon's land. He positioned Ottoman garrison in two Gjon's castles and destroyed rest of them. In December 1434 during anAlbanian revolt he marched in south-central Albania but was defeated byGjergj Arianiti. Contemporary sources from the senate of Ragusa mention that many Ottoman soldiers were captured, while Ishak Bey escaped with a small group.[7]
In1439, when he was returning from his trip toMecca, he was ordered by the sultan to join forces of Şihabeddin Pasha and besiegeNovo Brdo, important fortified mining town ofSerbian Despotate. On 6 August1439 the Ottoman forces under Ishak-Beg defeated forces of Serbian Despotate in a battle fought near Novo Brdo.[8] In November 1443 he commanded one of Ottoman armies during theBattle of Niš which ended with Ottoman defeat.[9]

Ishak beg, sandžak Skopski 1414-1439, nije bio rođeni sin svoga predšasnika Yigit Paše, skopskoga sandžaka, nego njegov oslobođeni rob i posinak. Na osnovu nekih izjava Isa bega, sina Ishak begova, Ć. Truhelka postavio je tezu da je Ishak beg bio rodom Hranušić
Већ сљедеће године кренуо је скопски намјесник Исхак у Босну да сатре Сандаљеве противнике, које је подржавао босански краљ.Ништа он није ни могао предузети против Сандаљевог пасторка и вјерног султановог харачара Балше III.
The combined host met Ottoman forces first on November 3, 1443, between the castle of Bolvan (near Aleksinac) and the city of Niš. Here Kasim Bey, then governor of Rumelia, Ishak Bey and other standard bearers were defeated.
Ovaj sandžak bio je sin glasovitog Isabega Isabegovića, koji je pod imenom Mehmed-Čelebija bio gospodar Pavlovića zemlje (1466.—1468.) Iza očeve smrti izgubismo mu trag a nakon 40 godina tek sretamo ga u Hercegovini kao sandžaka 16. maja 1507. spominje se u dubrovačkim zapisnicama Mehmedbeg Isabegović u savezu sa jednom kaznenom stvari.
