Dayan Khan

Lived from 1464 CE to 1517 CE or 1543 CE

Dayan Khan, born Batumöngke, was a khagan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, reigning from 1479 to 1517 (or until 1543 based on other sources). During his rule, he reunited the Mongols under Chinggisid supremacy. His reigning title, "Dayan", means the "Long lasting" in Mongolian language as he was the longest reigning khaan of the Mongols. Dayan Khan and his queen, Mandukhai, eliminated Oirat power and abolished the taishi system used by both local and foreign warlords. Dayan Khan's victory at Dalan Tergin reunified the Mongols and solidified their identity as Chinggisid people. His decision to divide the Six tumens of Eastern Mongolia as fiefs for his sons created decentralized but stable Borjigin rule over the Mongolian Plateau for a century.
