Timur

He was a sultan, but he was also an astronomer and a mathematician.

He was the grandson of the conqueror and King Timur and the eldest son of Shah Rukh.

His mother was Guhar Shah, who was a noble woman.

He was born in Sultaniye during Timur's invasion of Persia and given the name Mirza Muhammad Targay, but is better known as Ulugbeg, which loosely translates to great ruler.

He spent his childhood moving around the Middle East and India as Timur expanded the empire.

And after Timur's death, Shahrukh moved the capital of the empire from Samarkand to Herat.

And Herat is in Afghanistan.

Uluqbaik became the governor of Samarkand at age 16 in 1409.

The problem was approaching from the east, and Bayezid was not paying it sufficient attention.

Timur, known to European history as Tamerlane, was one of those figures who appears in the historical record like a force of nature rather than a person.

He had emerged from the region around Samarkand in Central Asia in the 1360s and spent the following decades building an empire through a combination of military genius and systematic, deliberate terror.

He conquered Persia.

He invaded northern India, sacked Delhi, and departed having killed so many people that contemporary accounts become almost too large to process.

He was not a Mongol by direct descent, but he deliberately modelled himself on Genghis Khan's legacy and pursued conquest with a similar organisational ruthlessness.

By the late 1390s, Timur's attention had turned westward toward Anatolia and the friction with Bayezid had a specific, traceable cause.

Several of the Anatolian Beylik rulers that Bayezid had deposed or subjugated had fled east and sought refuge with Timur.

Not long ago, he writes, a distinguished company were discussing the trite and frivolous question who was the greatest man, Caesar, Alexander, Tamerlane, or Cromwell.

Manuel traveled to Europe to ask for help from Italy, France, and England, but he came back empty-handed.

In the end, it was the Mongols, led by Timur or Tamerlane, who had just invaded Asia Minor, that forced the Ottoman army to withdraw.

This crisis was followed by a period of cooperation between Byzantines and Turks, which ended in 1421, when a new emperor, John VIII, came to power around the same time as a new Sultan, Murad II.

Both men decided to pursue a more aggressive policy, and after John backed a rebellion against the Sultan, Murad attacked Constantinople.
