Timur's love of his life, Saray Mulk, was also a woman he captured from an enemy's harem after defeating the emir of Balkh. She had been just one of emir's hot wives, but Timur made Saray his empress consort. It was mostly due to Saray's lineage since Timur was obsessed with claiming important steppe blood lines into his legacy, but historians agree Timur likely really had a special soft spot for her.
