Oyiradai Khan (? - 1425), was the Mongol Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia. Oyiradai Khan ascent to the throne of khan in 1415 with the help of Oirats after Delbeg Khan (Dalbag) was killed by eastern and central Mongol clans led by Adai Khan in the same year, to legitimize Oirats’ rule because he was a direct descendant of Ariq Böke. Oyiradai Khan’s reign only covers the western part of Mongol territory but this was expanded near his death: during his rule, with the help from Ming Dynasty, western Mongol clans headed by Oirats launched two significant campaigns in 1422 and 1423 respectively against Adai Khan controlling eastern and central Mongol territory, and both resulted in victory for Oirats. After Oyiradai Khan’s death in 1425, the in fights among Oirats and western Mongol clans left the throne of khan vacant for several years, and it was not until 1433 when Oirats finally crowned Tayisung Khan (Toghtoa Bukha or Toγtoγa Buqa) as the new khan. Meanwhile, in the east, Oirats’s rival eastern Mongol clans proclaimed Adai Khan as the Great Khan in 1425, which eventually resulted in half a decade of the simultaneous existence of two khans supported by opposing Mongol clans.
