Muhammad Shaybani Khan captured Herat in 1507, ending Timurid control of the southern capital.
Following his recapture of Samarkand in 1501, Shaybani expanded his influence. In 1507, he took Herat, the southern capital of the Timurids. This conquest was a pivotal moment in the decline of the Timurid dynasty, as the city had been a major center of their power.
