Mongolia: Bars Bolud Jinong Khan, Regent Khagan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty (1516-1519).

Barsbolad (Basbolud) Jinong (1490–1519) was the Mongol Khan of post-imperial Mongolia. Barsbolad (Basbolud) Jinong was the third son of Dayan Khan, who appointed his grandson (the eldest son of Dayan Khan’s second son), Bodi Alagh Khan as his successor. After the death of Dayan Khan, Barsbolad (Basbolud) Jinong proclaimed himself as the great khan, claiming that Bodi Alagh Khan was too young and too inexperienced to maintain the large Mongol empire, and he was able to rally support from some of the Mongol populace who feared that after a century of fighting, the unification and prosperity finally achieved by Dayan Khan was to be lost and a more experienced leader was needed.
