==Aftermath== Events reminiscent of the Franco-Mongol alliance occurred in the 15th century, when the Mongol ruler [[Tamerlane]] developed a friendly, if remote, relationship with Western powers. Tamerlane exchanged letters with Western rulers, inviting ambassadors and traders.<ref>Encyclopedia Iranica</ref> He also fought the [[Ottoman]] state as it was on the point of conquering Constantinople in around 1402, and defeating the Ottoman ruler [[Bazajet]] in 1402.<ref>”Istanbul”, p.16</ref> Tamerlane was long considered in a very positive light in the West due to his actions against the common Turk enemy.
