Person
Gusiluo
Gusiluo was the Tibetan ruler of the Tsongkha kingdom in Amdo, around the Huangshui valley of present-day Qinghai. Brought in as a youth around 1008 by Tibetan clans who claimed he descended from the old imperial line, he later set up his own court at Qingtang, modern Xining. A Buddhist ruler allied with the Song dynasty, he controlled trade routes to the west and defeated the Tangut armies of Western Xia in the 1030s.
