Altan Khan of the Khalkha

The House of Altan Khan (lit. Golden Khan) belonged to the Right Wing of the Khalkha Mongols. They maintained contact with Russia. Although they claimed to be Khan, Mongolian chronicles call them Hun Taij, which meant noble rank equal to Prince at that time.

History

Ubasi Khong Tayiji was a cousin of Layikhur Khan, who was the virtual founder of the House of Jasaghtu Khan. The Altan Khans waged wars with the Oirats. Ubasi made profits from trade with Russia.

Ubasi was killed by the Oirats in 1623 and his son Badma Erdeni Khong Tayiji succeeded as the second Altan Khan. In 1652, he abdicated from the throne and his son Erinchin Lobsang Tayiji succeeded.

In 1662 Erinchin killed the Jasaghtu Khan to expand into central Khalkha probably because Russia began to develop another trade route. He was attacked by the Tüsiyetü Khan (Chaghun Dorji) and fled northwestward. In 1667 he was captured by Sengge, Dzungar chief and was handed over to the (next) Jasaghtu Khan.
