Babukhan ( fl. 1328) (Chinese: 八不罕; Mongolian: Бабухан) was the wife of Taiding Emperor of the Yuan dynasty. [1] She served as regent in 1328.
Babukhan's father was either Woliuchar or Maizhuhan, both grandsons of Anchen. [2] She was established as empress in the third month of the first year of Taiding's reign (1324). [3]
Her husband died four years later in Shangdu and she instantly went into motion to assure that her son Ragibagh - the designated heir - would indeed ascend the throne. [2] Babukhan immediately sent her envoys to seize the royal seals of office, and, when supporters of the former emperor Khaishan moved to enthrone one of his children, she pre-emptively had her son crowned with the reign name Tianshun. [4] [2] She would serve as his regent.
Babukhan sent troops to attack and punish the rebels, and many battles ensued; eventually her army was defeated. [5] Tuq Temur, son of Khaishan, took power, and had Tianshun executed. [2]
It is unknown what became of Babukhan afterwards. [2] She wasn't given a posthumous due to the fact that she wasn't considered legitimate empress by Tugh Temür.
