Timurid

The Timurid Empire grew from the Barlas tribe of Transoxiana. In 1337 the empire had yet to be founded, and its future ruler Timur belonged to the Barlas.

In 1370 Timur took control of Transoxiana and made Samarkand his capital. He captured Delhi in 1398 and defeated the Ottoman sultan at Ankara in 1402. After his death in 1405, his descendants contested the empire; the Uzbeks took its remaining major cities by 1507. Driven from Central Asia, Babur conquered the Delhi Sultanate in 1526 and founded the Mughal Empire.
