Lha-bzang Khan, the last Khoshut King of Tibet

Lha-bzang Khan (Tibetan:ལྷ་པཟང་) (d.1717) was the grandson of Güshi Khan and the last Khoshut-Oirat King of Tibet.

He invaded Tibet with the approval of China's Kangxi Emperor in 1705 to depose the 6th Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama died soon afterwards, possibly killed by Lha-bzang.
Tibetans angrily rejected the spurious Dalai Lama candidate Lha-bzang brought with him and turned to the Dzungar Mongols for relief. The Dzungars defeated and killed Lha-bzang in 1717.
