Legend states that his invasion of Baghdad (Iraq) in 1399 required each of his soldiers to show him two severed heads from the largely Christian population.

Creepy stuff about his tomb being opened in 1941.

I’m a little unclear on the concept that Baghdad had a largely Christian population in 1399.
On the other hand, I read one account of his life that said he killed 750.000 in the Baghdad campaign and had a huge pyramid of skulls built to commemorate the victory.
