query: Timur decisively defeated the Christian Knights Hospitaller at the Siege of Smyrna.

positive: Timur Timur ( تیمور Temūr , Chagatai : Temür , 9 April 1336 -- 18 February 1405 ) , historically known as Amir Timur and Tamerlane ( تيمور لنگ Temūr ( - i ) Lang , `` Timur the Lame '' ) , was a Turco-Mongol conqueror . As the founder of the Timurid Empire in Persia and Central Asia he became the first ruler in the Timurid dynasty .   Born into the Barlas confederation in Transoxiana on 9 April 1336 , Timur gained control of the western Chagatai Khanate by 1370 . From that base he led military campaigns across Western , South and Central Asia , the Caucasus and southern Russia , and emerged as the most powerful ruler in the Muslim world after defeating the Mamluks of Egypt and Syria , the emerging Ottoman Empire , and the declining Delhi Sultanate . From these conquests he founded the Timurid Empire , but this empire fragmented shortly after his death .   Timur is considered the last of the great nomadic conquerors of the Eurasian Steppe , and his empire set the stage for the rise of the more structured and lasting Gunpowder Empires in the 1500s and 1600s . According to John Joseph Saunders , Timur 's background was Iranized and not steppe nomad .   Timur envisioned the restoration of the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan ( died 1227 ) . `` In his formal correspondence Temur continued throughout his life to portray himself as the restorer of Chinggisid rights . He justified his Iranian , Mamluk , and Ottoman campaigns as a re-imposition of legitimate Mongol control over lands taken by usurpers . To legitimize his conquests , Timur relied on Islamic symbols and language , referred to himself as the `` Sword of Islam '' , and patronized educational and religious institutions . He converted nearly all the Borjigin leaders to Islam during his lifetime .  `` Temur , a non-Chinggisid , tried to build a double legitimacy based on his role as both guardian and restorer of the Mongol Empire . ''  Timur also decisively defeated the Christian Knights Hospitaller at the Siege of Smyrna , styling himself a ghazi . By the end of his reign , Timur had gained complete control over all the remnants of the Chagatai Khanate , the Ilkhanate , and the Golden Horde , and even attempted to restore the Yuan dynasty in China .   Timur 's armies were inclusively multi-ethnic and were feared throughout Asia , Africa , and Europe , sizable parts of which his campaigns laid to waste . Scholars estimate that his military campaigns caused the deaths of 17 million people , amounting to about 5 % of the world population at the time .   He was the grandfather of the renowned Timurid sultan , astronomer and mathematician Ulugh Beg , who ruled Central Asia from 1411 to 1449 , and the great-great-great-grandfather of Babur ( 1483-1530 ) , founder of the Mughal Empire , which ruled parts of South Asia for over three centuries , from 1526 until 1857 .  Timur is also recognized as a great patron of art and architecture , as he interacted with Muslim intellectuals such as Ibn Khaldun and Hafiz-i Abru .

negative: The Great Siege of Malta in literature and historical fiction The 1570 Siege of Malta , written in the immediate aftermath of the events by the Cretan writer Antonios Achelis , is a classical work of Cretan Greek literature .  Eight-Pointed Cross ( 2011 ) by Marthese Fenech remains faithful to historical events and tells the story from the perspectives of a Maltese family and an Ottoman family . The narrative culminates with Dragut 's 1551 raid of Gozo . Work on the sequel , which focuses on the Siege of 1565 , is currently underway .  Walter Scott 's novel The Siege of Malta , written in 1831-1832 , was not published until 2008 .  Roger Crowley 's Empires of The Sea ( 2008 ) has a lengthy section on the siege of Malta .   Modern authors have attempted to capture the desperation and ferocity of the siege , with varying degrees of success .   Angels in Iron ( 2004 ) by Nicholas Prata remains faithful to the historical narrative and tells the story from a distinctly Catholic point of view .  The novel Ironfire : An Epic Novel of Love and War ( 2003 ) by David W. Ball is the story of kidnapping , slavery and revenge leading up to the siege of Malta . It takes a somewhat less sympathetic view of the Catholic Knights Hospitaller and maintains a more romantic approach . ( The British edition is called `` The Sword and the Scimitar . '' )  The novel The Religion ( 2006 ) by Tim Willocks tells the story of the siege through the eyes of a fictional mercenary called Mattias Tannhauser , who is on Malta fighting ( at times ) alongside the Knights ( referred to primarily as The Religion ) , while trying to locate the bastard son of a Maltese noblewoman . In this attempt his opponent is a high-ranking member of the Inquisition . The story presents a picture of both sides of the conflict without romanticising or sanitising the content for modern consumption .  The novel Blood Rock ( 2008 ) by James Jackson tells the story of the siege with a focus on a fictional English mercenary called Christian Hardy . Throughout the siege , Hardy works to discover the identity of the traitor within The Religion who works to ensure a Moslem victory . The traitor works on behalf of the French king , Francis I , who believed that peace with the Ottoman Empire was in the French interest and that the marauding Knights Hospitaller , by annoying the Sultan , threatened the security of France .  It is the main plot of Pirates of Christ ( 2007 ) , the historical novel by Edward Lamond .  Dorothy Dunnett in `` The Disorderly Knights '' ( 1966 ) , the third volume of The `` Lymond Chronicles '' , gives a detailed fiction account of the events of 1551 in Malta , Gozo and Tripoli . Although several of the characters are fictional , the bulk of the personages are historical .  In the video game Age of Empires III , released in 2005 , the story-based campaign mode has a fictional account of the siege of Malta .  Clash Of Empires : The Great Siege ( 2011 ) , a novel written by Christopher Hart , under the pen name William Napier , focuses on how the events of 1565 effected Nicholas Ingoldsby , a fictional English character , and the son of one of the Knights of St. John .  The novel The sword and the scimitar ( 2012 ) , by Simon Scarrow , is set around the Siege of Malta , and recounts events through the eyes of the disgraced veteran Knight Sir Thomas Barrett ( a fictional character ) , who is secretly searching for a hidden scroll that is in the possession of the Knights of St. John , that could threaten the reign of his Queen , Elizabeth I.  The novel The Course of Fortune ( J. Boylston , 2015 ) , by Tony Rothman , published in three volumes , recounts the events leading up to the Siege of Malta beginning with the 1551 raid on Gozo , in which the corsair Turgut Reis enslaved the island 's entire population . The story is told through the eyes of a young Spanish mercenary and relies heavily on early and original sources .

negative: Humphrey II of Toron Humphrey II of Toron ( 1117 -- 1179 ) was lord of Toron and constable of the Kingdom of Jerusalem .   Humphrey had become lord of Toron sometime before 1140 , when he married the daughter of Renier Brus , lord of Banias ( the Herodian city of Caesarea Philippi ) . Through this marriage Banias was added to Toron . Humphrey became castellan of Hebron in 1149 when Hebron became a domain of the royal family of Jerusalem . In 1153 he became constable of Jerusalem when Baldwin III became sole ruler after a struggle with his mother Melisende . That year he was present with the king at the Siege of Ascalon .   Humphrey was defeated by Nur ad-Din Zangi at Banias in 1157 and was besieged in its castle until Baldwin III arrived to lift the siege . That year Humphrey also sold Banias and Chastel Neuf to the Knights Hospitaller ( Chastel Neuf was captured by Nur ad-Din in 1167 ) . Also in 1157 he helped negotiate the marriage of Baldwin III and Theodora , niece of Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus . Humphrey himself later married Philippa , sister of Bohemund III of Antioch , who had previously had an affair with future Byzantine emperor Andronicus I Comnenus , Manuel 's cousin . Humphrey had been married before , to an unknown woman , and his marriage with Philippa produced no children .   In 1173 Humphrey relieved Nur ad-Din 's siege of Kerak in Oultrejordain . In 1176 his importance at the royal court was somewhat lessened due to the influence of Agnes of Courtenay , but he kept his position as constable . In 1177 this lessened importance was manifested when the lordship of Hebron was recreated and given to Raynald of Châtillon , lord of Oultrejordain , rather than Humphrey , who was still castellan . Nevertheless , he was one of the supporters of the Raymond III of Tripoli , regent for Baldwin IV . Raymond , Humphrey and others represented the faction of old families at court , who were opposed to newcomers like Raynald , and later Guy of Lusignan .

negative: Qamar-ud-din Khan Dughlat Qamar-ud-din Khan Dughlat ( Urdu ; Persian ; Arabic : ) was a Mongol ruler of Moghulistan between 1368 and 1392 . He belonged to the Dughlat clan of Mongol warlords .   Under Tughlugh Timur , both Amirs Tuluk and Bulaji had held the office of ulus beg . After the death of Bulaji the office was given to his son Khudaidad . This was contested by Bulaji 's brother , Qamar-ud-din , who desired to be ulus beg himself . His request for the office to be transferred to him was refused by Tughlugh Timur ; consequently after the latter 's death Qamar-ud-din revolted against Tughlugh Timur 's son Ilyas Khoja Khan .   He was likely responsible for the death of Ilyas Khoja ; most of the family members of Tughlugh Timur were also killed . Qamar-ud-din proclaimed himself khan , the only Dughlat ever to do so and although he did not gain the support of many of the amirs , managed to maintain his position in Moghulistan .   Qamar-ud-din 's reign consisted of a series of wars with Amir Timur , the Amir of Timurid Empire of Central Asia . Qamar-ud-din 's forces were unable to defeat the Great Timur Lane , but at the same time Timur could not decisively defeat Qamar-ud-din , whose men were able to retreat into the barren steppe country of Moghulistan . During a fresh invasion by Timur and his army in 1390 , however , Qamar-ud-din disappeared . His disappearance enabled a Chagatayid , Khizr Khoja , to gain control of Moghulistan .   Qamar-ud-din 's disappearance had left his nephew Khudaidad the senior member of the Dughlat family . According to the Tarikh-i Rashidi , Khudaidad had been an early supporter of Khizr Khoja and had hid him from Qamar-ud-din during the latter 's purge of members of the house of Chagatai . Khudaidad 's power rapidly increased and he became a king-maker in the years after Khizr Khoja 's death . He also divided Aksu , Khotan , and Kashgar and Yarkand amongst his family members ; this division of territory lasted until the time of Mirza Abu Bakr Dughlat .

negative: Junayd of Aydın Juneyd or Junayd Bey ( İzmiroğlu Cüneyd before 1402 -- 1425 ) was the last ruler ( bey ) of the Aydınid principality in what is now central western Turkey in the early 15th century . His exact relationship with the Aydınid dynasty is unclear ; his father was a long-time and popular governor of Smyrna under the Ottoman sultan Bayezid I , allowing Junayd to persistently rely on the loyalty of the area 's populace . After Bayezid 's defeat at the Battle of Ankara by Timur , Junayd fought against the Aydınid brothers Isa and Umur II , who had been restored by Timur . By early 1406 , Isa and Umur were dead and Junayd was the undisputed ruler of the former Aydınid domains .   Like all the rulers of the region , Christian and Muslim alike , Junayd became involved in and exploited the civil war between the sons of Bayezid ( the so-called `` Ottoman Interregnum '' ) to prolong the existence of his own principality . He supported İsa Çelebi against Mehmed I , and became a vassal of Süleyman Çelebi . Then as later , he proved an unruly vassal and inveterate intriguer , forcing Süleyman to send him as provincial governor at Ohrid in Rumelia in 1410 . After Süleyman 's death in 1411 by Musa Çelebi , Junayd returned to Anatolia and seized Smyrna , but had to recognize the suzerainty of Mehmed I . During Mehmed 's absence in Rumelia to campaign against Musa , Junayd reclaimed his independence and attacked his neighbouring rulers . As a result , in 1414 Mehmed led a regional coalition against Junayd . Junayd 's mother was able to save his life , but once again Junayd was dispossessed and sent to Rumelia as governor of Nicopolis . From there he soon joined the unsuccessful rebellion of Mustafa Çelebi , until the Byzantines agreed to intern him and Mustafa in 1416 .   In 1421 Mehmed I died and his son Murad II refused to honour his father 's obligations to the Byzantines . The latter then released Mustafa and Junayd . Mustafa quickly gained the allegiance of the Ottoman marcher-lords of Rumelia , and overcame an army sent against them under the vizier Bayezid Pasha , whom Junayd executed . When Mustafa marched to confront Murad in Anatolia , however , Junayd was persuaded to defect his cause . Deserted by his followers , Mustafa withdrew to Rumelia , where he was captured and executed . In the meantime , Junayd restored his rule over his former principality until 1424 , when Murad finally turned against him . Driven from Smyrna , Junayd sought refuge in the fortress of İpsili . From there he sought the assistance of Venice and the Karamanids , but in vain . In early 1425 , after Genoese ships completed the siege of İpsili by sea , he was forced to surrender . Despite assurances of safety , he and his family were executed , thus ending the Aydınid line .

Despite positive previews and critical response ( The New York Times wrote that `` the whole film sparkles with a boisterous lunacy '' and called its plot `` positively dazzling '' ) , the film was not a financial success and was considered a flop , unable to recoup its rather modest $ 2.8 million budget . Zemeckis later said , `` One of the great memories in my life is going to the preview . I did n't know what to expect -LSB- but -RSB- the audience just went wild . They were laughing and cheering . It was just great . Then we learned a really sad lesson ... just because a movie worked with a preview audience did n't mean anyone wanted to go see it . ''   Over a year later , in December 1979 , four of the film 's stars -- Bobby DiCicco , Wendie Jo Sperber , Nancy Allen and Eddie Deezen -- appeared in the Spielberg-directed comedy film 1941 , which was also written by Gale and Zemeckis .

negative: The Frighteners The Frighteners is a 1996 New Zealand-American fantasy horror comedy film directed by Peter Jackson and co-written with his wife , Fran Walsh . The film stars Michael J. Fox , Trini Alvarado , Peter Dobson , John Astin , Dee Wallace Stone , Jeffrey Combs , R. Lee Ermey and Jake Busey . The Frighteners tells the story of Frank Bannister ( Fox ) , an architect who develops psychic abilities allowing him to see , hear , and communicate with ghosts after his wife 's murder . He initially uses his new abilities to befriend ghosts , whom he sends to haunt people so that he can charge them handsome fees for `` exorcising '' the ghosts . However , the spirit of a mass murderer appears able to attack the living and the dead , posing as the Grim Reaper , prompting Frank to investigate the supernatural presence .   Jackson and Walsh conceived the idea for The Frighteners during the script-writing phase of Heavenly Creatures . Executive producer Robert Zemeckis hired the duo to write the script , with the original intention of Zemeckis directing The Frighteners as a spin-off film of the television series , Tales from the Crypt . With Jackson and Walsh 's first draft submitted in January 1994 , Zemeckis believed the film would be better off directed by Jackson , produced by Zemeckis and funded/distributed by Universal Studios . The visual effects were created by Jackson 's Weta Digital , which had only been in existence for three years . This , plus the fact that The Frighteners required more digital effects shots than almost any movie made until that time , resulted in the eighteen-month period for effects work by Weta Digital being largely stressed .   Despite a rushed post-production schedule , Universal was so impressed with Jackson 's rough cut on The Frighteners , the studio moved the theatrical release date closer by four months .
