Mangyül Gungthang (Tib .: མང་ ཡུལ་ གུང་ ཐང , transcription after Wylie : mang yul gung thang ) is the name of a Tibetan kingdom that was established around 1265 in southwest Tibet. This kingdom was under the jurisdiction of Sakya . The rulers of this small kingdom, which from 1268 to 1287 formed one of the famous Thirteen Ten Thousands (Tib .: khri skor bcu gsum ), were the kings of Gungthang (Tib .: gung thang rgyal po ). They ruled this empire from 1265 to 1620 under the rule of alternating central Tibetan overlords.
Dzongkar ( White Fortress ) is the name given to the castle of the Mangyül Gungthang kings.
