Sengge

Indonesia

Sengge was a Choros-Oirat prince who served as the chosen successor of his father, Erdeni Batur, to rule over the Dzungar people. He governed a section of the Dzungar territory from 1653 until his death in 1671.

Sengge is primarily recognized for his military leadership and political influence in the region. In 1667, he defeated Erinchin Lobsang Tayiji, known as the third Altan Khan, effectively eliminating the Altan Khanate as a potential future threat to the Dzungar.

His reign ended in 1671 when he was murdered by his two older half-brothers, Chechen Tayiji and Zotov Batur. While the provided subject description identifies Sengge as a city in Indonesia, the historical record describes him as a prince and ruler of the Dzungar.
