Abstract

This article analyzes the political title of Temur, the great statesman and commander of the 14th century, and the issues of legitimacy in his state administration. Based on historical sources, the study discusses whether it is true that despite establishing a vast empire, Temur chose the statuses of “Amir” and “kuragon” rather than the titles of “sultan” or “khan”. The article examines the synthesis between the "Yassa" laws of the Chingizids and the traditions of Islamic statehood, as well as Temur's status in international diplomatic relations.

Keywords
