Timoer Lenk (Kesh, 9 april 1336 – Otrar, 19 januari 1405) (ook bekend als Timoer de Grote, Timoer de Manke, of in Europa als Tamerlane en Tamburlaine, verbasteringen van het Perzische Temur-i-lang en Temür in Turkse talen) was een Turks-Mongoolse krijgsheer en stichter van het Timoeridische rijk en de dynastie der Timoeriden. Timoer Lenk werd geboren in Kesh, dat tegenwoordig bekendstaat als Sjahrisabz (omgeving van Samarkand, Oezbekistan). Hoewel hij Turkse wortels had, probeerde hij de vroegere macht van de Mongolen te herstellen. Timoer was heel zijn leven voornamelijk op oorlogspad en verbleef zelden langer dan een paar jaar op dezelfde plaats. Lees meer op Wikipedia
