Oyiradai
Oyiradai ( mn, Ойрадай; ), (?–1425) was a khagan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, reigning from 1415 to 1425. Oyiradai ascended to the throne with the help of the Oirats after Delbeg Khan was killed by eastern Mongols led by Adai Khan or perished in a battle with the Ming dynasty in the same year. His ascent to the throne was meant to legitimize Oirat rule because he was a direct descendant of Ariq Böke.Societas Uralo-Altaica-Ural-Altaische Jahrbücher, Volumes 7–8, p. 191. Oyiradai’s reign only covers western Mongolian Plateau but this was expanded near his death: during his rule, with help from the Ming dynasty, western Mongols headed by Toghan launched two significant campaigns in 1422 and 1423 against Arughtai chingsang and Adai Khan respectively, controlling eastern and central Mongol territory, and both resulted in victory for Oirats. After Oyiradai Khan’s death in 1425, the conflicts among Oirats and western Mongol clans left the throne of khan vacant for se ...

Delbeg Khan
Delbeg (Mongolian script: mn, Дэлбэг; ), (1395–1415) was a khagan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, reigning from 1412 to 1415. Delbeg was installed by the Oirats in 1412 as a puppet ruler, but this was not recognized by most of Mongol clans in the central and eastern Mongol territories. According to Saghan Secen, Delbeg was a son of Öljei Temür Khan (Buyanshir) who had instructed the Oriat leader Bahamu to make Delbeg the new Khan. Delbeg became Khagan in 1412. However records in ''Shajrat Ul Atrak'' and '' Habib al-siyar'', Delbeg was a direct descendant of Ariq Böke, and this blood lineage able to rally some support from Mongol populace in west. But his authority only prevailed in less than a third of Mongol territory, the western parts, while the eastern and central parts were under the control of Arughtai, and the two sides fought continuously for more than two decades. The Oirats forced Arughtai to seek refuge in the lands bordering the Ming dynasty in 1414. In 1415 ...

Öljei Temür Khan
Öljei Temür Khan ( mn, Өлзийтөмөр хаан ; ), born Bunyashiri (, sa, प्रज्ञाश्री), (1379–1412) was a khagan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, reigning from 1408 to 1412. He was a son of Elbeg Nigülesügchi Khan and successor of Gün Temür Khan. He was one of the Borjigin princes, such as Tokhtamysh and Temür Qutlugh, backed by Timur to seize the throne. Early life Tsagaan Sechen tells that Bunyashiri (Buyanshir) was born in 1379. Twenty years after his birth, his father, Elbeg, was murdered by the Oirats led by Bahamu and Guilichi. In 1402, Gün Temür Khan was killed by Örüg Temür Khan or Guilichi in the struggle for the crown. Conversion to Islam Due to internal struggles of the Mongols, the infant prince, Bunyashiri, fled to Beshbalik where Timur's governor stationed. Timur ordered his governor to receive him kindly. Bunyashiri converted to Islam while he stayed at the court of Timur in Samarkand, thus making Öljei Temür Khan ...

Örüg Temür Khan
Örüg Temür Khan ( mn, Ёлтөмөр хаан ; ), possibly Gulichi (; Mongolian: ''γuyilinči''), (1379–1408) was a khagan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, reigning from 1402 to 1408. Örüg Temür ( fa, اروک تیمور) in historical materials compiled by the Timurid dynasty have been a descendant of Ögedei. He might also have been known as Ugetchi Khashikha ( mn, Үгч (Үхэрчин) хашха; ). "Khashikha" means prince or duke in the Tungusic languages. He was a leader of the Oirats, particularly the Torguud clan. It is also possible that Ugechi Khashikha was not Örüg Temür himself, but a privileged minister of Oirat who supported Örüg Temür as a puppet Khan of East Mongols. Örüg Temür might also have been descended from either Ariq Böke or Genghis Khan's younger brothers, either Hasar or Temüge. Thus, it is still unclear whether he was an Oirat or a Genghisid. Elbeg Khan appointed Bahamu (''Batlai, Mahamu, Muhamud'') ruler of the Four Oirats afte ...

'' Erdeniin Tobchi'' claimed that Gün Temür was the eldest son of Elbeg Nigülesügchi Khan, but records in ''Shajrat Ul Atrak'' and ''Habib al-siyar'' he as other Genghizid (maybe descendant of Ariq Böke). His name, Gün Temür, means "Deep (intellectually) Iron" in the Mongolian language. Reign In an attempt to consolidate his authority over the state of Kara Del in Hami, Gün Temür murdered Engke-Temur who allied with the Ming dynasty.The Cambridge History of Inner Asia: The Chinggisid Age, (edited by Nicola Di Cosmo, Allen J. Frank and Peter B. Golden), September 28, 2009. . p. 162. In 1402, Gün Temür was defeated by Gulichi (possibly with Arughtai), who killed him as a result.
