Tamerlane had totally a conflicted personality. He is also well known for his cruelty in the war and for the bravery he showed in the battle fields.
He founded Timurid Empire. He was basically from a Mongol descent. He is called in Persian as "Timur Lang" which can be translated in English as "Timur the lame" and afterwards this name got shortened and it is known in English as Tamerlane.
He is called lame with his name because of the fact that once he got some injury on his leg in a Warfield and so he became lame afterwards.
