Finally with the Timurids, I plan on having the Laskarids submit as vassals to Timur, who would have them cede frontier regions such as Dorylaeum, Attalia, Kastromonu, Sozopolis amd Kotyanion to the Emir of Karaman (Timur’s regional vassal) in 1402. This would spare the richest heartland of Roman Anatolia hopefully.
As Timur dies in 1405, would it be plausible for the Romans to quickly regains those ceded territories from Karaman? From what I have read the Karamanids were never as strong as the Seljuks of Rum or the Osmanlis, I am thinking that following Timur’s death the Laskarids will move to reclaim the lands they had just ceded…
thanks for the feedback all!
