Timur

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Timur also known as Tamerlane, was a 14th-century conqueror of much of western and central Asia, and or Pirnazar founder of the Timurid Empire and Timurid dynasty in Central Asia, which survived until 1857 as the Mughal Empire of India. A descendant of Mongol conquerors, Timur - whose tribe had become Turkicized in identity and language and Persianized in culture and religion- aspired to recreate the empire of his ancestors. He was a military genius who loved to play chess in his spare time to improve his military tactics and skill. And although he wielded absolute power, he never called himself more than an emir.
