Khotogoid (
Khalkha
.
The best-known ruler of Khotogoids probably was
Yenisei Kirghiz
and pushing Oirats out of their domains in western Mongolia.
The northern border of the Khotgoid Khanate reached modern Russian Altay Mountains of Mongolia in the 17th century. The Khotogoid Khanate was not an independent state and its ruler was subject to Zasagtu khan aimag
of Khalkha.
In mid 17th century, because of the conflicts with neighboring Zasagtu Khan, the Khotogoids 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
khoshuu. After Chingünjav's rebellion in 1756-57, 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 well-known Khotogoid besides Ubasji Huang Taizi.
