Mongolia: Bodi Alagh Khan, Khagan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty (1519-1547).

Bodi (Budi) Alagh Khan (1504–1547) was the Mongol Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia. Bodi (Budi) Alagh Khan was Dayan Khan’s second son’s eldest son and was handpicked by Dayan Khan as his successor. However, after the death of Dayan Khan, Bars Bolud Jinong, Dayan Khan’s third son, proclaimed himself as the great khan, claiming that Bodi Alagh Khan was too young and too inexperienced to maintain the large Mongol empire. In 1519 it was agreed that Barsbolad (Basbolud) Jinong would give up the crown and Bodi Alagh Khan would be the new Great Khan of Mongols.
