The fourth Yuán emperor, EmperorRenzong of Yuan China was the last which may be seen as "successful": he stood out among the Mongol rulers of China as an adopter of the culture of China, to the discontent of the Mongol elite.
The dynasty was, significantly, one of the shortest lived dynasties in the History of China, covering the period of just a century 1271 to 1368.
EmperorYingzong ruled for just two years (1321 to 1323); his rule ended in a coup at the hands of five princes.
