Khutughtu Khan (Mongolian: Хутагт хаан; Mongolian script: ᠬᠤᠲᠤᠭᠲᠤ; Chinese: 忽都篤汗), born Kuśala (Mongolian: Хүслэн ᠬᠥᠰᠯᠡᠨ; Chinese: 和世剌; Sanskrit: कुशल, meaning "virtuous"/"wholesome"), also known by his temple name as the Emperor Mingzong of Yuan (Chinese: 元明宗; 22 December 1300 – 30 August 1329), was a son of Khayishan (Emperor Wuzong) who seized the throne of the Yuan dynasty of China in 1329, but died in suspicious circumstances six months later.[1] Apart from the Emperor of China, he is considered as the 13th Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, although it was only nominal due to the division of the empire.
