Biography
Son of Külüg Khan and the victor of the War of the Two Capitals. Cultured and Buddhist, he founded the Pavilion of the Star of Literature to translate Chinese classics into Mongolian and patronized the great Yuan playwrights of the era. His brief reign was the last politically stable one before the systemic crisis that destroyed the dynasty under Toghon Temür.
