Siege of Baghdad (1401)
In 1401, Timur besieged Jalayirid Sultanate capital of Baghdad for forty days and then massacred its inhabitants for resisting. The Mongol army looted the treasury and razed much of the city, except for mosques and madrasas.

The Jalayirid Sultanate (Persian: جلایریان) was a Turco-Mongol dynasty of Mongol Jalayir origin, which ruled over modern-day Iraq and western Iran after the breakup of the Ilkhanate in the 1330s.

After Timur's death in 1405, there was a brief attempt to re-establish the sultanate in southern Iraq and Khuzistan. The Jalayirids were finally eliminated by the Qara Qoyunlu in 1432.

The Jalayirids were Mongol and Turkicized and Turkic-speaking. They are credited with bolstering the Turkic presence in Arabic-speaking Iraq so much so that Turkic became the second-most-spoken language after Arabic. The Jalayirids were also culturally Persianate, and their era marks an important period in the evolution of Persian art, where it developed important aspects that would serve as the basis of later Persian paintings.
