Mongolia: Molon Khan, Khagan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty (r. 1465-1466), 20th century. Molon Khan (1437-1466), was a Mongol khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia and he was the eldest son of Tayisung Khan, Emperor Taizong of Northern Yuan. Mulan Khan succeeded his younger brother Markorgis Khan in 1465, but due to lack of real power, he was killed by warring Mongol nobles who fought each other for dominance. After his death, the position of great khan remained vacant for nearly a decade as warring Mongol clans fought each other for power.
