Engke Khan
Engke (Mongolian: Энх; Chinese: 恩克) was a khagan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, reigning for a brief period in 1392. The identity of Engke is the subject of an academic dispute: some scholars believe that Jorightu was Yesüder and Engke Khan was Yesüder's son succeeding him, while others believe that the Jorightu and Engke were the same person. His name "Engke" means "Peaceful" in the Mongolian language.
