The war with Timur
Ibn Khaldun reports that the Shaykh, lord of Mazandaran, rebelled against Timur at the instigation of Toqtamish, so Timur marched against him. The two armies met, Toqtamish was defeated and his household scattered, but then he returned and recovered Sarai. The war between them did not end 1.
At the end of the year 797 AH the news reached that Timur had overcome him, killed him and seized all his lands 1.
Note
His death date in the data is derived and is flagged as disputed (around 1395 CE). The event needs an additional source.
