Sam Sloan's Big Combined Family Trees

Amir Qutb ud-din Muhammad TIMUR Tamurlane was born in 1336 in Kesh, near Samarkand. He died in 1405.

The generally accepted genealogy of Tamerlane is collateral to Genghis Khan's. That is, they both shared an ancestor some generations back from Genghis Khan, and the Timurids never tired of
repeating their descent from Alanqoa, who was the Virgin Mary of Mongolia and the remote ancestress of Genghis Khan too.

W. M. Thackston

Timur Pronounced As: timoor or Tamerlane tamrlan , c.1336-1405, Mongol conqueror, b. Kesh, near Samarkand. He is also called Timur Leng [Timur the lame]. He was the son of a tribal leader, and he claimed (apparently for the first time in 1370) to be a descendant of Jenghiz Khan. With an army composed of Turks and Turkic-speaking Mongols, remnants of the empire of the Mongols, Timur spent his early military career in subduing his rivals in what is now Turkistan; by 1369 he firmly controlled the entire area from his capital at Samarkand. Campaigns he waged against Persia occupied him until 1387. By that time he had in his possession the lands stretching E from the Euphrates River. He advanced (1392) across the Euphrates, conquered the territory between the Caspian and Black seas, and invaded several of the Russian states. By weakening the Crimean Tatars he helped clear the way for the conquests of the grand duchy of Moscow. Timur abandoned some of his Russian conquests to return to Samarkand and invade (1398) India along the route of the Indus River. He took Delhi and brought the Delhi Sultanate to an end, but he withdrew with little addition to his domain.

In 1400, Timur ravaged Georgia and proceeded to the Levant, where he took Aleppo and Baghdad. His next war was fought in Asia Minor against the Ottoman Turks, and in 1402, at Angora, he captured their sultan, Beyazid I, who, contrary to popular belief, was well treated. Timur died while planning an invasion of China. His tomb at Samarkand was long known to archaeologists, but it is only recently that his skeleton, buried in a deep crypt, was found.

Timur's reputation is that of a cruel conqueror. After capturing certain cities he slaughtered thousands of the defenders (perhaps 80,000 at Delhi) and built pyramids of their skulls. Although a Muslim, he was scarcely more merciful to those of his own faith than to those he considered infidels. His positive achievements were the encouragement of art, literature, and science and the construction of vast public works. He had little hope that his vast conquests would remain intact, and before his death he arranged for them to be divided among his sons. The Timurids are the line of rulers descended from him. Christopher Marlowe's play Tamburlaine luridly recounts his conquests.

Humayun Pronounced As: hoomäyoon , 1507-56, second Mughal emperor of India (1530-56), son and successor of Babur. In 1535, pressed by enemy incursions into Rajasthan, Humayun defeated the formidable Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. However military opposition, particularly that of Sher Khan in Bihar, grew in strength. Sher Khan overran Bengal in 1537, and Humayun was routed at Chausa in 1539 and crushingly defeated at Kanauj in 1540. Humayun fled to Sind and finally obtained shelter from Shah Tahmasp of Persia in 1544. After the death of Sher Khan's son, Humayun, with Persian support, invaded (1555) India and reestablished Mughal authority. He died soon after, and his son Akbar became emperor.

Akbar Pronounced As: akbär , 1542-1605, Mughal emperor of India (1556-1605); son of Humayun, grandson of Babur. He succeeded to the throne under a regent, Bairam Khan, who rendered loyal service in expanding and consolidating the Mughal domains before he was summarily dismissed (1560) by the young king. Akbar, however, continued the policy of conquest. A magnetic personality and an outstanding general, he gradually enlarged his empire to include Afghanistan, Baluchistan, and nearly all of the Indian peninsula north of the Godavari River. To unify the vast state, he established a uniform system of administration throughout his empire and adopted a policy of conciliating the conquered chieftains. Having defeated the Rajputs, the most militant of the Hindu rulers, he allied himself with them, giving their chiefs high positions in his army and government; he twice married Rajput princesses. Although he was himself illiterate, Akbar's courts at Delhi, Agra, and Fatehpur Sikri were centers of the arts, letters, and learning. He was much impressed with Persian culture, and because of him the later Mughal empire bore an indelible Persian stamp. Apparently disillusioned with orthodox Islam and hoping to bring about religious unity within his empire, he promulgated (1582) the Din-i-Ilahi [divine faith], an eclectic creed derived from Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity. A simple, monotheistic cult, tolerant in outlook, it centered on Akbar as prophet, but had an influence outside the court. Akbar, generally considered the greatest of the Mughal emperors, was succeeded by his son Jahangir.

The Rajput principality of Mewar (Udaipur) capitulated in 1614. In the Deccan, Ahmadnagar was taken in 1616 and half of its kingdom annexed. In the northwest, however, the Persian ruler, Shah Abbas, retook (1622) Kandahar. In 1611, Jahangir married a Persian widow, Nur Jahan, and she and her relatives soon dominated politics, while Jahangir devoted himself to cultivation of the arts, especially miniature painting. He welcomed foreign visitors to his court, granting trading privileges first to the Portuguese and then to the British East India Company. Civil strife and court intrigues marked the last years of Jahangir's reign. Shah Jahan, his son, succeeded him.

Among the buildings he erected were the unsurpassed Taj Mahal and the Pearl Mosque, both at Agra, and the new city at Delhi, which he made his capital. Literature also flourished at his magnificent court. Shah Jahan fell seriously ill in 1657, and this led to a war of succession among his sons.

By 1240 he had Moscow and Kiev in his grasp, and in the following two years he conquered Hungary and Poland and invaded Germany. His recall to Karakorum in 1242 to participate in the election of a grand khan is sometimes said to have saved Europe from subjection to the Mongols. Batu died while preparing additional campaigns. The domain he established is known as the Kipchak khanate. In Russia it came to be known as the Golden Horde, because of the gorgeous tents in which the army camped.

Genghis Khan -> Jochi -> the possible European
Royalty connections to Mongolian origins
and DOCUMENTATION.

According to the works of German Alexandrovich Fedorov-Davydov (1930 - 2000), a prominent Russian historian, archeologist and numismatist, [who authored 230 books and articles; was Chair of Archeology at Moscow State University for 35 years];
. . . "the principal issues that preoccupied Fedorov-Davydov during the last years of his life were the connections between the Medieval civilizations in the East and in the West, . . .".
["The Silk Road and the Cities of the Golden Horde", published posthumously, {printed in Korea 1991; LC First edition 2001}, is his first work to be published in the United States.]

Mention is made on page 57 of said work, in a brief
book review, that "The right to mint coins belonged
exclusively to the khans of the Jochid family, the
descendants of Jochi, who was the eldest son of
Genghiz Khan." Appendix 1 Geneology (sic) of the
Mongol Khagans, Khans, and Qatuns {brief} on page 173.

On page 27, mention is made that ". . . Eastern Europe,
Kazakstan, and Khwarizm belonged to the descendants of
Jochi, Genghiz's oldest son and the father of Batu.
Their realm is what is known today as that of the
Golden Horde." . . . On page 36,
mention is made that "Some maps mark the major Golden
Horde cities with flags bearing the family crest of
the ruling dynasty of the Jochids, the descendants of
Genghiz Khan's son Jochi."

Importantly, as noted on page 53, re: Golden Horde
coinage, "Some of these hoards are especially
interesting and reveal family history, such as one
discovered in Feodosiya in 1898, comprised of silver
coins of the khans of the Golden Horde and those of
the Girei Dynasty, the Crimean offspring of the
Jochi family."
EXAMPLE: (page 54-55)
. . .
"The earth kept the basis for my great-grandfather,
who served Toqtamish, and he gave it to his son
Yahya ibn Mansur ibn Yusuf Tarakhgi, and the son of
my great-grandfather served Timur-Qutlugh, the Great
Sultan, and he increased it and tripled many of the
things which he had inherited, and gave them to his
son Iblan b. Yahya b. Mansur b. Yusuf Tarakhgi, who
was faithful to his master, the Great Mengli Girei b.
Hajji-Girei b. Ghiyath ad-Din of the glorious
descendants of Jochi, and he rewarded me and gave it
to me, and I have served the Great Sultan, the Just
Khan, now deceased, Salamat Girei.

Thus we are presented with the hoard's entire history:
the great-grandfather of its last owner had served
Toqtamish, Kahn of the Golden Horde from 1380 to 1400.
. . . Then his son . . . had accumulated in the service
of another khan, Timur Qutlugh (1397-1399). . . .
Then this jar came into the possession of the grandson,
who served the Crimean khan Mengli Girei (1469-1515).
. . . Finally, the great-grandson, the treasure's last
owner, who worked at the court of Khan Salamat Girei
(1608-1610) . . . had the inscription written. At the
end of the inscription we read:

No children of mine are with me, wives and kinsmen,
strength of my sons, children of youth [are not with
me]. They are killed and I am alone, infirm and
helpless as a child who has left his mother's womb.
Oh grief, oh sorrow, tears and sobbing over the ashes
of the young. I search hopelessly for medicine. Now
in the month of Rabi the First of the year 1019 [in
the Islamic reckoning: 1610 C.E.], without hesitation
I give this last handful of wealth . . ."

This book is valuable and interesting to read
and review. Published by Zinat Press Berkeley, CA.
