[[categoy: Social Studies Skills]]
 
* Tamerlane was a Turkic (central Asia) military leader who seized the Chagatai Khanate in 1370
* The Chagatai Khanate was ruled by descendants of Genghis Khan's second son, Chagatai
* Tamerlane was related to but not a direct descendent of Genghis Khan, so he installed a descendent as puppet ruler
** "puppet ruler" = someone who is in the position of power but does not actually exercise that power or rule, which is exercised by someone else
* Tamerlane understood the need to legitimate his rule by having a Genghis Khan descendent
