Khotogoid

Khotogoid (Mongolian: Хотгойд, transliteration: Khotgoid) is a subgroup of Mongol people in northwestern Mongolia.

The Khotogoid people live roughly between Uvs Lake to the west and the Delgermörön river to the east.

The best-known ruler of Khotogoids probably was Ubashi Huang Taizi, also known as Altan Khan of the Khotogoid (not to be confused with Altan Khan of Tumed) who was successful in subjecting Yenisei Kirghiz and pushing Oirats out of their domains in western Mongolia.

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.
