This article provides a comprehensive analysis of Timurid princes and royal women based on the Boburnoma, employing personographic, genealogical, and political approaches. The study examines personal descriptions, kinship relations, marital alliances, and political decisions recorded by Babur in connection with the historical processes of Central Asia in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.

Timurid princes are analyzed as key actors in governance and military-political affairs, while royal women are considered essential figures in maintaining dynastic stability and internal court balance. The source value of Babur’s assessments is critically evaluated by distinguishing subjective observations from factual evidence. The findings demonstrate the importance of the Baburnama as a primary source for reconstructing the political and social history of the Timurid period.
