Timur

/ tiːˈmʊə /

noun

In 1400 Timur pillaged it, and in 1517 it passed, with the rest of Syria, to the Ottoman dominion.

In his reign occurred the invasion of Timur , who ruined the Volgan regions, but did not penetrate so far as Moscow.

At last Timur contrived an ingenious stratagem, by which he hoped to cause his enemy to fall into a snare.

These and other revolts prepared the way for the fourth great invasion of India under Timur (Tamerlane).

Accordingly, when Timur invaded India in 1398, he encountered but little organized resistance.
