Darayisung Küdeng Khan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Darayisung Küdeng Khan (c.1520-1570) was a legitimate successor to the throne in the Mongol Empire.

When Bodi Alagh Khan, the legitimate ruler of the Mongols from the Chahar, died in 1547 , Darayisung Küdeng Khan was set to follow. However Altan Khan forced Darayisung Küdeng Khan to flee eastward. Four years later in 1551 Darayisung made a compromise with Altan accepting Altan's leadership in exchange for giving the title "Gegeen Khan" to him.
