'''Rinchinbal''' ([[Mongolian language|Mongolian]]: Ринчин Бал {{MongolUnicode|ᠷᠢᠨᠴᠢᠨᠪᠠᠯ|lang=mn|font-size=1em|style=middle}}, {{zh|t=懿璘質班}}; {{langx|bo|རིན་ཆེན་དཔལ།}}), also known by his [[temple name]] as the '''Emperor Ningzong of Yuan''' ({{zh|t=元寧宗}}; May 1, 1326 – December 14, 1332), was a son of [[Khutughtu Khan Kusala|Kuśala]] (Emperor Mingzong) who was briefly installed to the throne of the [[Yuan dynasty]] of Mongol, but died soon after he was installed to the throne. Apart from [[Emperor of China]], he is also considered the 14th [[Khagan|Great Khan]] of the [[Mongol Empire]], although it was only nominal due to the division of the empire.

==Biography==
He was the second son of [[Khutughtu Khan Kusala|Kuśala]] (Emperor Mingzong) and a younger brother of [[Toghun Temür]] (Emperor Huizong). His mother was [[Babusha]] of the [[Naimans|Naiman]] tribe, who met Kusala when he lived in exile in [[Central Asia]] under the [[Chagatai Khanate]].

When his father Kuśala died and was succeeded by his younger brother [[Jayaatu Khan Tugh Temür|Tugh Temür]] (who is thought to have poisoned Kuśala), Rinchinbal was appointed to Prince of Fu. Tugh Temur made his son Aratnadara heir apparent in January 1331.<ref>Yuan shi, 34. p. 754.</ref> In order to secure her son's throne, Tugh Temur's [[Khatun]] [[Budashiri]] executed Rinchinbal's mother, Babusha, and exiled [[Toghan Temur]] to [[Goryeo under Mongol rule|Korea]].<ref>Yuan shi, 34. p. 774.</ref> These proved unnecessary, however, Aratnadara died one month after his designation as heir.<ref name=p557>Herbert Franke, Denis Twitchett, John King Fairbank-The Cambridge History of China: Alien regimes and border states, 907–1368, p. 557.</ref>

Although Tugh Temür had a son named [[El Tegüs]] when he died in 1332, it is said that on his deathbed the Khagan expressed remorse for what he had done to his elder brother and his intention to pass the throne to Toghan Temur, Kusala's eldest son, instead of his own son. The grand councilor [[El Temür]] resisted letting Kuśala's eldest son Toghun Temür accede to the throne since he was suspected of having poisoned his father Kuśala. When Tugh Temur's widow and El Tegüs's mother Budashiri Khatun respected Tugh Temür's will of making Kuśala's son succeed the throne, the 6 year old Rinchinbal was chosen. While Toghun Temür was kept far away from the capital [[Khanbaliq|Dadu]], Rinchinbal was in Dadu and had become favored by Tugh Temür. Rinchinbal was enthroned as the new emperor on October 23, 1332, but he died on December 14.<ref name=p557/>

El Temür again asked Budashiri to install El Tegüs but it was declined again. He had no choice but to invite Toghun Temür back from far-away [[Guangxi]]<ref>Jeremiah Curtin-The Mongols: A history, p. 392.</ref> in southwest China.
