Basalawarmi

Basalawarmi (died January 6, 1382), Prince of Liang, was the son of Bolot and a great-great-grandson of Kublai Khan. He held Yunnan for the Yuan; after the court fled north in 1368 he stayed loyal to the Northern Yuan.

In 1364 Dali troops helped him repel an invasion from the Ming Xia state, and in 1374 he executed a Ming envoy. In 1381 the Hongwu Emperor sent an army against him and crushed his forces. On January 6, 1382, he had his wife drowned in Dian Lake and killed himself.
