Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Modern Part of an Universal History From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time, Vol. 5 Then crossing the Jihûn in boats, at Amuya, he went to his palace of Ak-faray, in Kash. Receiving the compliments of all the great lords of provinces, who came to congratulate his return, he made a solemn feast; and then went to Samarkand, where his arrival was celebrated with great rejoicings. He gave the sharîfs, and men of letters, part of the spoil he had brought home; punished bad governors, against whom complaints were made; and exempted all the subjects of his empire from taxes for three years. In spring 799, Timur ordered the palace of Baghi-shemal to be built, in a garden to the north of Samarkand. It had a pavilion at each of the four corners; and the walls were painted in fresco. The court was paved with marble; and the walls, both within and without, were covered with porcelain. When the whole was finished, Timur held a royal festival, with sumptuous banquets, plays, and diversions; at which he invested his fourth son, the mîrza Shah Rûkh Bahâdr, sovereign and absolute prince of the kingdoms of Khoraffân, Siftân, and Mazân-deran, as far as Firuzkuh, and the city of Ray. Having appointed amirs and generals to command under him, he tenderly embraced him, and, having killed his eyes and forehead, dismissed him. The new king crossed the Jihun in June; and, arriving at Herat, chose for his residence the palace of Bagh-zaghan, that is, the Garden of Crows; where, on the 25th of September, he had a son born, whom the emperor, his father, named Baysankar. In the mean time, the mîrza Mehemed Soltân prosecuted his march by Darabjerd and Tarom, to Ormûz; where he was met by troops which had taken different routes. At the first onset, they reduced the seven fortresses, which are the bulwarks of that kingdom; whose sovereign, Mehemed Shah, was obliged to retire to Jerom, where he was constrained to make peace, swearing to pay an annual tribute of six hundred thousand dinars. When the mirza was on his return to Shiraz, a person named Jumalo´din, a native of the mountain of Firuzkuh, who rode by the side of his horse, struck him with a knife, but only wounded him slightly. The villain, thinking to escape, ascended the ridge of the mountain; but, stumbling as he ran, fell into a precipice, and was killed.
