Ming Yingzong ruled as the sixth emperor of China's [[Ming Dynasty]], as the Zhengtong Emperor, returning to the throne as the Tianshun Emperor after seven and a half years imprisonment.
The Ming fought the [[Mongols]] on and off throughout much of the first century or so of the dynasty; in the 1440s, the conflict became particularly severe, and in [[1449]] the Mongols managed to capture the Zhengtong Emperor, keeping him captive for roughly one year. In his absence, Yingzong's brother took the throne as the [[Jingtai Emperor]] (Ming Taizong), and after Yingzong managed to return to [[Beijing]], Jingtai then placed him under confinement in the palace for six and a half years while he retained the throne.
Yingzong then returned to the throne in [[1456]], taking a new reign name, as the Tianshun Emperor.
