Detailed explanation-1: -Tamerlane is the European derivation of Timur’s Persian nickname, Timur-e Lang, which means ‘Timur the Lame’. 3. During his mid-twenties, Tamerlane was crippled by injuries to his right leg and right hand.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tamerlane (April 8, 1336–February 18, 1405) was the ferocious and terrifying founder of the Timurid empire of Central Asia, eventually ruling much of Europe and Asia. Throughout history, few names have inspired such terror as his. Tamerlane was not the conqueror’s actual name, though.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1398 the Mongol-Turkish warrior Timur, ruler of Central Asia from his capital at Samarkand, found a pretext to strike south into India. His victory over the sultan of Delhi confirmed the irresistible fighting qualities of his army and the awesome destructiveness that made him a legend of cruelty.
