Darmabala (also known as Dharmapala [3] - Standard Tibetan: ཆོས་སྐྱོང་, lit.'Protector of the Law', Mongolian: Дармабал, ᠳᠠᠷᠮᠠᠪᠠᠯᠠ, Chinese: 答剌麻八剌) was an imperial prince of the Yuan dynasty. He was a grandson of Kublai Khan and son of his Crown Prince Zhenjin. He was an ancestor of subsequent Yuan monarchs who came after Temür Khan (Emperor Chengzong) and the Goryeo kings after King Gongmin.

Biography

He was born in 1264 to Zhenjin and his wife Kökejin Khatun as the couple's second son. He was married to Dagi from Khongirad tribe around 1278. [4] After Zhenjin's death on 5 January 1286, Darmabala came to be seen as a strong candidate for the position of heir-apparent by his grandfather and was appointed as commander of Mongol army in Jeju Island. He was described by Marco Polo as ' rickety'. [5] He was dispatched to Huaizhou by Kublai in 1291, where he fell ill. He was treated in Khanbaliq until 1292 where he died. He was posthumously renamed Emperor Zhaosheng Yanxiao (昭聖衍孝皇帝) by Külüg Khan and was given the temple name Shunzong (顺宗).

Family

He had three sons and a daughter from two wives:

  1. Dagi Khatun, posthumously Empress Zhāoxiàn Yuánshèng (昭獻元聖皇后)
  2. Concubine Guo (郭氏妃子)
    • Amuga [6] (born before 1281, d. 1324) — 1st Prince of Wei (魏王)
