Emperor Ningzong of Yuan (Chinese: 元寧宗, 1326 – 1332), also known as Rinchinbal (Classical Mongolian: Rinčinbal; Khalkha Mongolian:Ринчинбал Rinchinbal from Tibetan rin chen dpal) was a son of Kuśala who was briefly installed as Khagan of the Mongol Dynasty of the Borjigin Empire. He was the shortest-reigning monarch in the imperial history of Mongolia.
[edit] History
He was the second son of Kuśala (Emperor Mingzong) and a younger brother of Toghun Temür (Emperor Huizong). He was mothered by Babusha of the Naiman tribe when his father lived in exile in Central Asia near the Chagatai Khanate.
When his father Kuśala died (was supposedly killed with poison by El Temür and was succeeded by Kuśala's younger brother Tugh Temür (Emperor Wenzong), Rinchinbal was appointed to Prince of Fu. Tugh Temur made his son Aratnadara heir apparent in January 1331.[1] In order to secure her son's throne, Tugh Temur's Khatun Budashiri murdered Rinchinbal's mother Babusha and exiled Toghan Temur to Korea.[2]
Although Tugh Temür had a son named El Tegüs when he died in 1332, his widow and El Tegüs's mother Budashiri Khatun respected Tugh Temür's will of making Kuśala's son succeed the throne instead of El Tegüs.
The de facto ruler El Temür resisted letting Kuśala's eldest son Toghun Temür accede to the throne since he was suspected of having poisoned his father Kuśala. While Toghun Temür was kept far away from the capital Dadu, infant Rinchinbal was in Dadu and had become favored by Tugh Temür. Thus El Temür decided to install Rinchinbal as the new emperor, but he died two months later, aged only seven.
El Temür again asked Budashiri to install El Tegüs but was declined. He had no choice but to invite Toghun Temür back from far-away Yunnan in southwest China.
