Yesün Temür, Chinese emperor (d. 1328)
Yesün Temür (Chinese: 也孫鐵木兒; Mongolian: Есөн Төмөр, November 28, 1293 – August 15, 1328) was a great-grandson of Kublai Khan and an emperor of the Yuan dynasty of China from 1323 to 1328. Apart from Emperor of China, he is regarded as the 10th Khagan of the Mongol Empire, although it was only nominal due to the division of the empire. In Chinese historiography, Yesün Temür, who was very fond of the traditional ways of the Mongols, is commonly known as the Taiding Emperor of Yuan (Chinese: 元泰定帝) based on his first era name. His name means "nine iron Khan" in the Mongolian language.
He was probably the emperor visited by the Franciscan friar Odoric, who left an excellent record of his travels.
