In the West, his Timur's name was translated into 'Tamburlaine' and became the subject of a two plays by Christopher Marlowe. Later still people thought there was a relation with Tambourines to add to the confusion and so would shake them during performances of the play. In this production, Tamburlaine conquers not only Asia but also Africa and dies (like Alexander the Great) in Babylon. In other words Marlowe's Tamburlaine is as about as close to real history as King Arthur, if sometimes it does contain the truth.
