Hypothetical: how would 14th century Christian armies have fared against Timur's ravaging sassenachs?

I'm no miltary historian lol, but it's interesting to speculate on how different tactis and armies would have clashed here. Timur's military record is there for all to see though.

Tamerlane was actually pretty reasonable if you just negotiated with him according to folk tradition here

@God Buggy I'm certainly not an expert military historian either but I don't particularly see much reason why Timur's armies wouldn't defeat contemporary Christian armies. Superior cavalry overall, superior mobility and not much if any technology difference. Timur's forces handily defeated the same Ottomans who had at the time brought Christendom to its knees.

Graeber's "The Dawn of Everything" is a book one should definitely consider going through during their lifetime. A monumental work, really.
