Person
Zhenzhu Khagan
Zhenzhu Khagan, personal name Yinan, was the leader of the Xueyantuo, a Tiele people of Mongolia. He led their revolt against the Eastern Turkic Khaganate in 628 and was recognised as khagan by Emperor Taizong of Tang. After the Turks fell in 630 he made the Xueyantuo the dominant power in the steppe, but relations with the Tang soured and his state collapsed soon after his death in 645.
