Timurid Emirates

Timurid Emirates

The Timurid Emirates were parts of the Timurid dynasty left behind after its collapse, mainly petty kingdoms run by members of the Timurid dynasty, having been put in positions of power while the empire was at its peak. They were weak and were easily destroyed by the Persians, Uzbeks and other large kingdoms.
