After the death of his nephew Molon Khan, the position remain vacant for nearly a decade as warring Mongol clans fought each other for dominance. Manduul Khan was married to Yeke Qabar-tu, daughter of the Turfan-based warlord Beg-Arslan, sometime between 1463 and 1465.[2] The two disliked each other, and their marriage produced no children.[2] In 1464, he also married Mandukhai, who was only sixteen years old at the time.[2] It was not until 1475 that Manduul Khan was finally crowned as the new khan. Manduul is the earliest Mongol chief known to have actually headed the Chakhar myriarchy.[3]
During his short rule, Manduul Khan successfully strengthened the power of khan and reduced the power of nobles, and paved the way for his adopted son and great-grandnephew Dayan Khan (Batu Möngke) who succeeded him as Manduul Khan had no direct male heirs, and most sources report that he had no children at all.[4]
Manduul's later life is also fictionalized in books one and two of the historical fiction Fractured Empire Saga, by Starr Z. Davies, published 2021-2022,[5] a four-book series: Daughter of the Yellow Dragon, Lords of the Black Banner, Mother of the Blue Wolf, and Empress of the Jade Realm.
He also appears as a character in the historical novel "Manduchai" by German author Tanja Kinkel in 2014.
