Timurid and Qara Qoyunlu domains, 1458
  • " In 813/1410 Qara Yusuf defeated and killed Sultan Ahmad, took possession of Iraq, Diyarbakr, and Georgia, and moved as far east as Sultaniyah, Qazvin, and Saveh. He received the allegiance of the Aq Qoyunlu, who had always sought support from the Timurids. The threat of Qara Yusuf came at a time when Fars was prospering under Ibrahim b. Shahrukh, and Isfahan under Rustam b. ’Umar Shaykh. In 823/ 1420, Shah Rukh set out to challenge the Qara Qoyunlu, and at Sultaniyah he learned that Qara Yusuf had died. He went to winter at Qarabagh, while Baysunghur entered Tabriz in November 1420, unopposed in the period of confusion among the Qara Qoyunlu following the death of Qara Yusuf. In July 1421, Shah Rukh fought the Qara Qoyunlu and barely won the battle. He went to Tabriz, and in August returned to Herat. However, Iskandar, a son of Qara Yusuf, kept to the field, and his seizure of Sultaniyah caused Shah Rukh to again move from Herat. Iskandar lost a battle in the vicinity of Tabriz, and was pursued by Muhammad Juki b. Shah Rukh in 832/ 1429. Again in 835/ 1421, Iskandar took Tabriz, and four years hence, again Shah Rukh marched overland and entered Tabriz unopposed. He named Jahanshah, a younger brother of Iskandar, governor of Azerbayjan. (....) In 1452, Jahanshah took Qumm, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Yazd; in 1457, Mazanderan; and in 1458, Herat itself. However, Abu Sa’id proved equal to all challenges. In 1458, he defeated a confederation of Timurid rivals near Merv. As his strength waxed, that of the Qara Qoyunlu declined, and they lost all the areas gained, except Fars and Azerbayjan. By 1456 [1465?], Abu Sa’id held all of Transoxania, all of present-day Afghanistan, and northern Iran. In 1468, Jahanshah Qara Qoyunlu marched against Uzun Hasan, the Aq Qoyunlu ruler. While hunting with a small force, Jahanshah was surprised by Aq Qoyunlu forces and killed" The Timurid Architecture of Iran and Turan, vol.1, p.9-10
