Drakpa Jungne

Drakpa Jungne (Tibetan: གྲགས་པ་འབྱུང་གནས, Wylie: Grags pa byung gnas, 1414–1445) was a king of central Tibet who ruled in 1432–1445.

By each wife he begot a son, of whom Drakpa Jungne was the eldest, born to lady Kunga Pal Dzomma.

[2] According to later historiography Norzang's son Dondup Dorje took hold of the important stronghold Samdrubtse (present Shigatse) in 1435.

[4] Nevertheless, the Rinpungpa let their young kinsman remain on the throne, though his immediate influence was now restricted to Ü (East Central Tibet).

[7] Unlike the previous practice which prescribed celibacy for the Phagmodru leaders, Drakpa Jungne married with Zomdrak Wangjam of the Kharpa family and sired a son, Ngagi Wangpo who would become ruler much later.
