	Timur Summary
		Tamerlane or Timur (Tamerlane is a corruption of the Persian Timur-i Lang, "Timur the Lame"), belonged to the Turkized Mongol clan of the Barlas, which had accompanied the Mongol armies westward and had settled in the Kashka Valley to the south of Samarkand, between Shakhrisyabz and Karshi.
		Timur was dispatched on a mission to the invader's camp, the result of which was his own appointment to the head of his own tribe, the Barlas, in place of its former leader Hajji Beg.
		In 1402, Timur invaded Anatolia and defeated Bayezid, the ruler of the Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Ankara.

		In their furious sweep leaving behind a trail of blood and tears, these Islamic monsters demonstrated to their co- religionists already infesting India as tyrants and traitors what Islamic brutality raging in cyclonic fury could achieve within a mere 15 months for which the ruling fanatic terror-tyrants took 15 years to complete.
		One of these Islamic scourges, who descended on Hindusthan like a plague toward the close of the 14th century, was the congenital monster, Tamerlain alias Taimurlang alias Timur, the lame.
		It is from this brute of a Timur that the rapacious Moghuls, the last link in the Muslim dynastic relay that plagued India, descended on one side.

		Sultan Bayezid having news that Timur was thus in occupation of his provinces, immediately set aside the business he had in hand and betook himself first to Angora where was a strong castle and where already he had stored his munitions of war and supplies.
		Bayezid coming up where he thought to find Timur, now became aware that the latter had changed his route, and rashly imagined that this was done to escape him, in short that Timur had now taken to flight.
		Then Timur turned back into the plains, marching direct on Angora where Bayezid had left his baggage and munitions, and the Sultan realized that his enemy had escaped him by his guile.

		Between 1381 and 1404 Iran was ravaged by the repeated invasion of yet another conqueror from the steppes, Taimur—known in the West as Timurlane ("Timur the lame").
		But given the nature and organisation of these "hordes", the death of the supreme chief is normally a signal for disintegration and the dispersal of the horde.
