Description

Temur Khan's death without an heir sparks a power vacuum within the Yuan court - two brothers will come to power together, but only one will be able to sit the throne at a time, who will succeed? Meanwhile, as money issues continue to plague the empire, the Mongol nobility get more and more fed-up with the Yuan Borjigins' continual shift toward Chinese-style reforms.Time Period Covered:1307-1323 CEMajor Historical Figures:Khaishan (Külüg Khaghan/Emperor Wuzong) [r. 1307-1311]Ayurbarwada (Buyantu Khaghan/Emperor Renzong) [r. 1311-1320]Shidebala (Gegeen Khaghan/Emperor Yingzong) [r.1320-1323]Grand Empress Dowager Targi [d. 1322]Empress Bulukhan [d. 1307]Khosila, Prince of ZhouPrince Ananda [d. 1307]Grand Councilor of the Right, Harghasun [d. 1307]Grand Councilor of the Right, Temüder [d. 1322]Grand Councilor of the Left/Right, Baiju [d.1323】 For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
