Timur, a Turco-Mongol from Transoxiana (now Uzbekistan), had built an empire in Central Asia over the years, and became the most powerful ruler in Central Asia since Genghis Khan.[6] He sought to rebuild the once great Mongol Empire.[7] In the 1380s and 1390s, he invaded and conquered parts of Persia (including Armenia, Azerbaijan and Upper Mesopotamia), ravaged southern Russia and Ukraine (1395–96), and invaded India (1398).[8] Although there had been tensions between the Ottomans and Mongols, nothing would warrant a war, until Bayezid demanded tribute from an emir loyal to Timur,
the Ottomans had been campaigning in Europe. Bayezid broke off the blockade of Constantinople and marched to Ankara after Timur again moved his army to the southeast in the summer of 1402.[9]
It is estimated that the Timurid army counted 140,000,[3] mostly cavalry, and also 32 war elephants.[9] Bayezid's army numbered 85,000.[3][9] Historical sources exaggerated the number of troops to unrealistic proportions: Ahmad ibn Arabshah claimed 800,000 Timurid troops, while a German witness claimed 1.6 million, for instance.[10
The Ottoman force included contingents under his sons, Ghazis, Janissaries, Anatolian Muslim vassals,[11] and various European (Balkan Christian[11]) vassals.[12] Among Serbian vassals participating were Stefan Lazarević and Đurađ Branković,[12] and among Albanian were Koja Zakarija, Demetrius Jonima, Gjon Kastrioti, and probably Tanush Major Dukagjin.[13] Christian vassals that did not participate include Zetan Konstantin Balšić.[13] A quarter of the Ottoman troops were recently conquered Tatars.[9]
The battle began with a large-scale attack from the Ottomans, countered by swarms of arrows from the Timurid horse archers. Several thousand were killed and many surrendered to Timur. Stefan Lazarević and his knights together with Wallachian forces successfully fought off the Timurid assaults and cut through the Mongol ranks three times. Each time Stefan advised Bayezid to break out with him, Bayezid declined to do so.

After the battle, Timur moved through western Anatolia to the Aegean coast, where he besieged and took the city of Smyrna, a stronghold of the Christian Knights Hospitalers. The battle was catastrophic for the Ottoman state, fracturing what remained and bringing almost total collapse of the empire. This resulted in a civil war among Bayezid's sons. The Ottoman civil war continued for another 11 years (1413) following the Battle of Ankara.
results : bayezid lose the war
queen of bayezid was make naked to serve in victorious battle party
which was greatest hurt to ottoman empire self respect
but they did same with the Armenian and Greek so nothing wrong in this
there always a father of father who is known as grandfather.
