There is very little information about Engke Khan. According to Mongolian historian J.Bor, Engke made an alliance with Timur against the Ming Dynasty. An envoy of Timur met Engke for preparations to conquer China, but Timur died while he was marching into China in 1405.

Enkh Zorigt Khan, the son of Togstumur Khan, was born in 1359, the yellow pig year. He was installed on the throne in 1389 and organized immense work to raise the economy of Mongolia. He died in 1392, the black monkey year.
