While the Turko-Mongol Tamerlane campaigned in Persia, his rebellious former protégé Toktamish, Mongol Khan of the Golden Horde, crossed the Oxus to threaten Samarkand in Uzbeskistan. Pursued north to the Syr Darya River, Toktamish’s rearguard suffered a terrible defeat at the hands of Tamerlane. The great conqueror beat him again three years later at Kunduzcha and finally at the Terek in 1395.
