Tamerlane
Tamerlane (1336–1405) (Turkish
Timur Leng, ‘Timur the Lame’) Mongol conqueror, b. Uzbekistan. He claimed descent from
Genghis Khan. By 1369, Tamerlane conquered present-day Turkistan and established
Samarkand as his capital. He extended his conquests to the region of the
Golden Horde between the Caspian and Black Seas. In 1398, Tamerlane invaded
nw India and defeated the Delhi Sultanate. He then turned towards the
Mamluk Empire, capturing Syria and Damascus. In 1402, he captured the Ottoman Sultan Beyazid I at Angora. His death, at the head of a 200,000-strong invasion force of China, enabled the reopening of the
Silk Road. His vast empire was divided among the Timurid dynasty.
