Antong

Antong (Chinese: 安童), alternatively rendered as Hantum (1245[1] or 1248[2]–1293), of the Mongol Jalair clan, was a prominent official of the Yuan dynasty of China, serving during the reign of Kublai Khan (Emperor Shizu).

[7] In 1265, he was again appointed as the grand chancellor of the Central Secretariat (Zhongshu Sheng), and actively supported Kublai Khan to adopt and honor Confucianism and Han court rituals, and opposed the influence of Ahmad Fanakati.

In 1275, he was dispatched to assist Nomokhan, a son of Kublai Khan, to confront the attacks of Kaidu from Central Asia.

He was captured due to the insurgency of his own underlings, and was handed over to Mengu-Timur, khan of the Golden Horde, who, in turn, passed him on to Kaidu.

He was granted the posthumous name Prince Zhongxian of Dongping (Chinese: 東平忠憲王) by Temür Khan (Emperor Chengzong) in 1303.
