1363
Timur allies with Husayn to seize Transoxiana
1363
The limping Barlas warlord and his brother-in-law Husayn defeated the Chagatai khan Ilyas Khoja near Samarkand, beginning Timur's transformation from bandit chief to empire-builder. The two men divided Transoxiana between them, an arrangement that both knew was temporary. Within seven years Timur would murder Husayn, claim sole rule, and launch the campaigns of conquest that would reshape the map.
