Karma Tenkyong Wangpo
Karma Tenkyong Wangpo was the last king of the Tsangpa dynasty of Tibet, succeeding his father Karma Phuntsok Namgyal around 1620. He opposed the Gelug school, whose allies, the Khoshut Mongols under Güshi Khan, invaded and took his fortress of Samdrubtse in 1642. He was executed, and Güshi Khan gave authority to the Fifth Dalai Lama.
