When 7-year old Rinchinbal died, his brother
Togoon who was five years older ascended to the
title of Khan. Togoon Tumur Khan achieved some
measure of stability, ruling for 37 years.
However, in 1368, when Togoon Tumur Khan was 48
years old, the Chinese arose against their Mongol
rulers and defeated the Yuan Dynasty. Togoon
Tumur and the rest of the Mongol court fled back
to Mongolia.
