Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"The Timurid dynasty, self-designated Gurkani, was a Persianate, Central Asian Sunni Muslim dynasty of Turco-Mongol lineage which ruled over the whole of Iran, modern Afghanistan, modern Central Asia, as well as large parts of contemporary Pakistan, Mesopotamia, Anatolia and the Caucasus. It was founded by the militant conqueror Timur (Tamerlane) in the 14th century." Important dates include Battle of Ankara in 1402, Fall of Herat in 1507, and disestablished in 1526. [Wikipedia] "Tamerlane establishes the Timurid dynasty. During this 35-year period, Tamerlane would ravage his fellow Islamic states such as the Golden Horde and the Delhi Sultanate in order to accomplish his goal of a restored Mongol Empire."
