Babukhan

1328) (Chinese: 八不罕; Mongolian: Бабухан) was the wife of Taiding Emperor of the Yuan dynasty.

[3] Her husband died four years later in Shangdu and she instantly went into motion to assure that her son Ragibagh - the designated heir - would indeed ascend the throne.

[2] Babukhan immediately sent her envoys to seize the royal seals of office, and, when supporters of the former emperor Khaishan moved to enthrone one of his children, she pre-emptively had her son crowned with the reign name Tianshun.

Babukhan sent troops to attack and punish the rebels, and many battles ensued; eventually her army was defeated.

[5] Tuq Temur, son of Khaishan, took power, and had Tianshun executed.
