Description
Timur attacking the Knights of St John at Smyrna, 1402 (1467). Timur Lenk (1336-1404), or Tamerlane, meaning Timur the Lame, was an Islamic Turkic conqueror who set out to re-establish the great Asian empire of Genghis Khan and the Mongols. His conquests were notable for the large-scale and brutal massacres of captured cities. Smyrna (modern Izmir) was one which suffered such a fate when stormed by Timur's army in 1402.
