The Jingtai Emperor (21 September 1428 – 14 March 1457) was Emperor of China from 1449 to 1457. The second son of the Xuande Emperor, he was selected in 1449 to succeed his older brother, the Zhengtong Emperor, when the latter was captured by Mongols following the Tumu Crisis. He reigned for 8 years before being removed from the throne by his brother, who was restored as the Tianshun Emperor.

The Jingtai Emperor's era name means "Exalted View".

He found his final resting place far away from the Myng Dynasty Tomb area in todays outskirts of Beijimg.

You have to go into the Timeslider in GE and go back to 4/26/2002 to see it.
