Rinchinbal (Mongolian: Ринчин Балᠷᠢᠨᠴᠢᠨᠪᠠᠯ,Chinese:懿璘質班;Standard Tibetan:རིན་ཆེན་དཔལ།), also known by histemple name as theEmperor Ningzong of Yuan (Chinese:元寧宗; May 1, 1326 – December 14, 1332), was a son ofKuśala (Emperor Mingzong) who was briefly installed to the throne of theYuan dynasty of Mongol, but died soon after he was installed to the throne. Apart fromEmperor of China, he is also considered the 14thGreat Khan of theMongol Empire, although it was only nominal due to the division of the empire.
He was the second son ofKuśala (Emperor Mingzong) and a younger brother ofToghun Temür (Emperor Huizong). His mother wasBabusha of theNaiman tribe, who met Kusala when he lived in exile inCentral Asia under theChagatai Khanate.
When his father Kuśala died and was succeeded by his younger brotherTugh Temür (who is thought to have poisoned Kuśala), 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'sKhatunBudashiri executed Rinchinbal's mother, Babusha, and exiledToghan Temur toKorea.[2] These proved unnecessary, however, Aratnadara died one month after his designation as heir.[3]
Although Tugh Temür had a son namedEl Tegüs when he died in 1332, it is said that on his deathbed the Khagan expressed remorse for what he had done to his elder brother and his intention to pass the throne to Toghan Temur, Kusala's eldest son, instead of his own son. The grand councilorEl Temür resisted letting Kuśala's eldest son Toghun Temür accede to the throne since he was suspected of having poisoned his father Kuśala. When Tugh Temur's widow and El Tegüs's mother Budashiri Khatun respected Tugh Temür's will of making Kuśala's son succeed the throne, the 6 year old Rinchinbal was chosen. While Toghun Temür was kept far away from the capitalDadu, Rinchinbal was in Dadu and had become favored by Tugh Temür. Rinchinbal was enthroned as the new emperor on October 23, 1332, but he died on December 14.[3]
El Temür again asked Budashiri to install El Tegüs but it was declined again. He had no choice but to invite Toghun Temür back from far-awayGuangxi[4] in southwest China.
