Temür Khan (Öljeyitü)

Temür (1265–1307), called Öljeyitü Khan, was a grandson of Kublai Khan and the third son of Crown Prince Zhenjin. In 1287 he campaigned with his grandfather against the rebel prince Nayan, and in 1293 he was put in charge of the Karakorum region. After Kublai's death he was enthroned in 1294 as the second Yuan emperor.

His reign brought nominal suzerainty over the rival Mongol khanates and respect for Confucian scholarship. He died in 1307 without a surviving heir.
