Overthrow By The Black Sheep Turkmen
When Timur died in 1405, the Mamelukes released Sultan Ahmad, who returned to Baghdad, and Qara Yusuf, who took up residence in Tabriz. In spite of their agreement, however, it did not last. Ahmad wanted to regain Azerbaijan; as a result he attacked the Black Sheep. He managed to occupy Tabriz for a brief time, but was defeated in August 1410. He was then captured by Qara Yusuf and executed; Ahmad's son Ala al-Daula, who had been released by the Timurids, was also killed. Ahmad's nephew Sultan Valad briefly succeeded him in Baghdad but the Black Sheep took the city a year later.
Jalayirds were pushed south into lower Iraq, ruling over the towns of Al-Hillah, Wasit, and Basra until extinguished by the Kara Koyunlu in 1432, bringing an end to the DBA Jalayirid list:

—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“I too have been in the underworld, as was Odysseus, and I will often be there again; not only sheep have I sacrificed so as to be able to speak with a few dead souls, but neither have I spared my own blood as well.”
