Timur died old but he didn't die happy as he was pissed at the Ming emperor and was marching to conquer his puny realm.
>>
Suleiman the Magnificent and Mehmet died pretty happy imo

I don't think so, i mean he killed his arguably most competent son, and his best friend.

Well, if you go back far enough, you have lots. Ashurburnipal I and II both lived quite a while and presumably died happy. Pretty much any individual emperor that started a new Chinese dynasty did a lot of conquering and died reasonably well. You've got Ashoka in India, you've got Ivan III in Russia, you've got plenty.

Really, how are you defining a "great conqueror"?

>>1854393
Didn't he explode because he was too fat?
>>
>>1854397
Hes probably the best example. Good conquerors normally have a lot of enemies and don't last long. Darius 1 was mid 60s when he died naturally and did a lot of conquering for persia if he counts.

>>1854366
While not the owner of what he conquered khalid ibn whalid died of old age and was bitching about it
>>
>>1854831
Stalin suffered a terrible death
>>
>>1854397
Wrong. He was about to wage war on Jochi and was sad to die unhappy.

>>1854366
Justinian, Thutmose iii

Muhammed

Charlemagne

Montezuma I (not to be confused with the other one).

Edward IV ate, drank and whored himself to death with the bribe money the French had paid him to not invade. Admittedly at the age of 40, but definitely meets the happy criteria.
