The Eleventh Dalai Lama (Khedrup Gyatso)
1838 CE–1856 CE · Modern · Gathar (Lhagang/Tagong), Kham Minyak
1838–1856 CE (died young, aged about seventeen)
Khedrup Gyatso (1838–1856 CE), the eleventh Dalai Lama, was born in Kham and enthroned at the Potala in 1842. He was the third of the successive Dalai Lamas to die young, passing away suddenly in the Potala at about seventeen, before he could take real charge of government, which continued under regents. His brief life left little historical record beyond the bare facts of his recognition, enthronement, and early death, which are attested.
