So Timur is just a mount and blade protagonist in real life?

Tamerlane's tomb markings were engraved with the phrase "“When I Rise From the Dead, The World Shall Tremble”. When the tomb was opened, another engraving was found on the inside that read “Whosoever Disturbs My Tomb Will Unleash an Invader More Terrible than I’. It was Soviet researchers that opened the tomb on June 19th, 1941 and exhumed Timur's remains. On June 22nd, 1941, the Nazis invaded the USSR beginning Operation Barbarossa. Late in 1942, Stalin ordered Timur's remains to be returned to the tomb.That winter the USSR would turn the tide of the war at Stalingrad.

I guess you can say that the Ilkhanate became an Ill-Khanate.

Timur against Ming China would have been the bloodiest campaign of ancient world history, that I'm sure of. But still we can name Timur in one breath with the greatest like Alexander and Genghis Khan. His accomplishments are really extraordinary - defeating four empires, and never losing any single battle, while fighting wars at every front of your border. And he valued art, engineering and culture. The Turkic language flourished under his rule - it changed from the status of a simple army language to a language of science and poetry during his reign.

Just a little clarification about Toktamish. That was arguably the most difficult and glorious win
in Tamerland life. Both armies were almost identical, horse archers
about 100 000 each, and they chase each other for about 1500 miles from the north shores of Black Sea to Central Asia. Crazy.

Ruy Gonzales De Clavijo, a Spanish nobleman who went to the palace of Timur to Samarkand as ambassador, stated in his book The Life of Timur & Travels from Kadiz to Samarkand, that Timur was descended from a noble generation of Turk immigrants who boasted of their lineage. [14] While Richard Bulliet says that Barlas has nothing to do with Mongols, [15] Rene Grousset [16] states that Timur's ancestry is based on Genghis in the books written in his time, whereas Timur is not related to Mongols and says that Timur is Turk..

The A to Z of the Mongol World Empire

Amir Tîmûr-i-lang, also known as Tamerlane, was a Barlâs Turk of a noble family. By the time he was born, however, his family had fallen on hard times and lived by banditry.


Who were the Timurids?

Ulugh Beg was the grandson of Timur, known in the west as Tamerlane, or 'Timur the Lame', due to a leg injury sustained in battle. Originally the ruler of a small Turkish tribe, Timur conquered the whole of Iran and Central Asia to create the Timurid Empire.


A comprehensive history of Iran in the early fifteenth century, under the Timurids, a Turkic dynasty of nomadic origin.


His father was from the Turkish stock, probably also descended from the same Turkish tribes who accompanied the Mongol warriors in their conquest of Transoxiana and then settled in the new territory.


Timur founded Timurids dynasty during the late 14th century. He was a Turk from Transoxiana nomads and son of a warrior.


Temür and his followers were Turks loyal to the Mongol tradition, but they were also Muslim and well acquainted with Perso-Islamic culture.


One of the Turkish tribes was the Barlas, a member of which, Timur the son of Taraghay, was to prove himself an extremely adept politician and warrior, rising to power in the third quarter of the 14th century as Mongol authority waned ( see Timurid, §II, A).

The Mughal Empire dates from 1526 when Zahir al-Din Muhammad Babur ( 1483–1530 ), the Turco-Mongol ruler of Kabul, invaded northern India and declared himself its emperor. He based his imperious claim on the brief conquest of Delhi in 1398 by his distant Turkish ancestor Timur ( aka Tamerlane, 1336–1405 ), conqueror of Central Asia.

Timur was not a Mongol himself, but from the Turkic Barlas tribe in Transoxania, now Uzbekistan.


A Timurid is one of his descendants; a member of the Turkic dynasty founded by him, which ruled in central Asia until the 16th century.


The founder, Timur Leng, was a Chagatai Turk of the Barlas tribe in the region of Kish, Western Turkestan.


The Timurid Empire was a powerful, conquest-driven empire that devolved into disunited dynasties more noted for artistic than political endeavors. Tamerlane (Timur Lang) (1336–1405) was not a Mongol but emerged out of the chaos of post-Mongol Turkistan.


Although his people (Turks), the various lineages of the Barlas, lived a pastoral life and became nomads, they existed in close proximity to sedentary people and sedentary culture, even while antagonistic to it.


Descended from Turkish (not Mongol) stock no longer migratory, Timur began his career with an attempt to free his native Transoxania.

After the Mongol Dynasty of the Il-Khans, Persia was ruled for a short period (c.1380–1469) by timur (Tamerlane) and his successors. These Central-Asian Turkish rulers, with their capitals of Samarqand or Herat, were great patrons of the arts and literature.


Timur was born around 1336 in Transoxania near Kesh – later known as Shahrisabz – in the Kashka Darya region of what is today the Republic of Uzbekistan. He was a Turk of the Barlas tribe; this tribe, like many others, boasted a Mongol name and ancestry, but for all practical purposes it was Turkic.


Timur was born in Kesh, near Samarkand, Transoxania (now in Uzbekistan), in 1336. He was a member of the Turkic Barlas clan of Mongols.


Actual power lay in the hands of the amir Timur (Tamerlane, 1336–1405) who continued the Chagatai rule although he was not a Mongol himself.


Timur (Tamerlane) was a Turk, not a Mongol, but he aimed to restore Mongol power.


The dynasty was founded by a Chagatai Turkic prince named Bābur (reigned 1526–30), who was descended from the Turkic conqueror Timur (Tamerlane) on his father’s side and from Chagatai, second son of the Mongol ruler Genghis Khan, on his mother’s side.

Fun fact about Tokhtamysh; he was supported in his last stand against Tamerlane by the Grand Duke of Lithuania - Vytautas the Great. Despite that Vytautas did it completely independently from his cousin, king of Poland and officially the "Supreme Grand Duke of Lithuania" Jogaila (Władysław Jagiełło), many Polish knights volunteered to fight in his army. He even got the support of the bitter enemy of Lithuania - the Teutonic Order. Although this campaign ended in a defeat in the battle of Vorskla in 1399, Vytautas offered the former supporters of Tokhtamysh refuge in his realm, which was the main origin of the Tatar community in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

The usual storyline of Iranian history after Islam:
1. Invasion by brutal people, 2. Early destruction of monuments and mass killing and bloodshed of the civilians, 3. The conquerer tribe starts to respect the Iranian/Persian culture, philosophies, language, and political system, 4. Then they become a well-known scientist/poet/artist and a great preacher of Persian/Iranian culture to other nations.

It is magic, that this culture still exits on the face of the earth, its language is still spoken, and its philosophies remained so much influential. Isn't it?
