Ligdan Khan
Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty
Ligdan Khutugtu Khan (1588–1634) is the last khan of the Northern Yuan dynasty based in Mongolia as well as the last in the Borjigin clan of Mongol Khans who rule the Mongols from Chakhar.
His unpopular reign generates violent opposition due to his harsh restrictions over the Mongols.
His alliance with Ming dynasty of China, sponsorship of Tibetan Buddhism in Chakhar and reorganization of Mongolian political divisions are ineffective when the Qing dynasty become the major power in East Asia.
