The Travels of Johann Schiltberger 3: Timur the Conqueror
Episode 3 is here, and it follows Johann Schiltberger on his merry way, after the Battle of Angora and into the life of Timur, the limitlessly violent Turko-Mongol conqueror. There will be pyramids of heads, flaming camels, and elephants, poisoned-scimitar wielding elephants. Timur's story is actually fascinating in itself, and we'll also look at his Imperial home, Samarkand, by way of a somewhat food obsessed Castilian knight. Enjoy!
