Image description

Delhi after the Sack of Timur Lang, 1398. The weakness and quarrels of the descendants of the first strong Tughlak Sultans of Delhi gave the Mongol (Mughal) tribes led by Timur an opportunity of raiding India, and in 1398 they swept down on Delhi. The sack was so severe that it led to a great pestilence and so savage that even Timur devotes several pages in his Memoirs (Mulfusat-i-Timuri) in excuising it. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
