Tanguts of Western Xia and Uyghurs in 1015 and 1016.[1][2]

History

In 996, Tanguts began raiding Liangzhou.[3]

In 998, Xiliangfu had a population of 128,000.[4]

In 1001, Panluozhi came to power.[3]

In 1003, Li Jiqian occupied Liangzhou but failed to hold the city when their forces fell to a Tibetan ambush.[3]

In 1004, Panluozhi was assassinated by Tanguts and his brother Siduodu succeeded him.[3]

In 1006 and several following years Liangzhou suffered from plague.[5]

In 1015, the Tanguts captured Liangzhou.[6]

In 1016, the Ganzhou Uyghur Kingdom ousted the Tanguts from Liangzhou.[6]

Around 1032, the Tanguts annexed Liangzhou again.[7]
