One of the realms of Khanate and Emirate of Bukhara. In 1500 the Uzbek leader Muhammad Shaybani, a descendant of Genghis Khan, swept down from the steppe and conquered Timurid Transoxiana, taking Samarkand and Bukhara. His Shaybanid heirs made Bukhara their capital, and under Abdullah Khan II in the late 1500s the khanate reached Herat, Mashhad and Badakhshan.
