Khotgoid
Encyclopedia
Khotogoid is a subgroup of Mongol people
in northwestern Mongolia
. The Khotogoid people live roughly between Uvs Lake to the west and the Delgermörön
river to the east. The Khotogoids belong to north western Khalkha and were one of the major groups that make up Khalkha
.
The most famous ruler of Khotogoids probably was Ubashi Huang Taizi also known as Altan Khan of Khotogoid (not to be confused with Altan Khan of Tumed
) who was successful in subjecting yenissei Kyrgyz and pushing Oirats out of their domains in western Mongolia. In mid 17th century, because of the conflicts with neighboring Zasagtu Khan, Khotogoids were disintegrated and ceased to exist as a separate political unit. As a result, Khotogoids were frequently invaded by both other Khalkhas and Oirats.
The Khotogoids moved into the area in the 16th century. In 1694, they were organized into the Zasaghtu Khan aimag's Erdeni Degüregchi Wang khoshuu. After Chingünjav
's rebellion, this khoshuu was split up into five smaller entities: Erdeni Degüregchi Wang khoshuu, Akhai Beise khoshuu, Mergen Gong khoshuu, Dalai Gong khoshuu, and Tsogtoo Wang khoshuu.
Chingünjav (mentioned above) is probably another famous Khotogoid besides Ubasji Huang Taizi.
