Timurid Empire (A Blood Red Sky)



Timurid Empire

Rise
In 1402, after the Battle of Ankara, Timur organized his armies and began a campaign to wipe out the Ottomans. Without a Sultan, the Ottoman lands in Anatolia fell easily. By 1403, all of Anatolia was under Timurid rule. Timur devised a plan with the Byzantine emperor Andronikos V Palaiologos, to finish off the Ottomans by taking their capital Edirne. Palaiologos more than happily agreed.
