👉 List of rulers of Tibet in the context of Lha-bzang Khan

Lha-bzang Khan (Mongolian: ᠯᠠᠽᠠᠩ ᠬᠠᠭᠠᠨ Lazang Khaan; Tibetan: ལྷ་བཟང༌, ZWPY: Lhasang; alternatively, Lhazang or Lapsangn or Lajang; d.1717) was the ruler of the Khoshut (also spelled Qoshot, Qośot, or Qosot) tribe of the Oirats. He was the son of Tenzin Dalai Khan (1668–1701) and grandson (or great-grandson) of Güshi Khan, being the last khan of the Khoshut Khanate and Oirat King of Tibet. He acquired effective power as ruler of Tibet by eliminating the regent (desi) Sangye Gyatso and the Sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso, but his rule was cut short by an invasion by another group of Oirats, the Dzungar people. At length, this led to the direct involvement of the Chinese Qing dynasty in the Tibetan politics.
