Elbeg Nigülesügchi Khan

Nigülesügchi Khan (Mongolian: Нигүүлсэгч хаанᠨᠢᠭᠦᠯᠡᠰᠦᠭᠴᠢ; Chinese: 尼古埒蘇克齊汗), born Elbeg (Mongolian: Элбэгᠡᠯᠪᠡᠭ; Chinese: 額勒伯克), (1362–1399) was a khagan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, reigning from 1394 to 1399. Erdeniin Tobchi claimed that Elbeg was the younger brother of the Jorightu Khan, while other historians testify that he was a son of the Biligtü Khan (Emperor Zhaozong). He ruled for seven years. His regnal title "Nigülesügchi Khagan" means "Merciful Emperor" in the Mongolian language. Border skirmishes with the Ming dynasty and Oirat rebellion plagued his reign.
