Chongde Qaghan was the ninth ruler of Uyghurs. His personal name is not known, therefore he is often referred as his Tang dynasty invested title Chongde (Chinese: 崇德可汗; literally: 'Honoring virtue') which was invested on 26 May 821.[1]

Reign

Upon his accession, he sent a delegation including a number of officials and two Uyghur princesses, along with a bride price of horses and camels to Muzong in order to seek a Tang Princess. Muzong agreed and sent Princess Taihe with a grand delegation. She was escorted by the general Hu Zheng (胡証), assisted by the other officials Li Xian (李憲) and Yin You (殷侑).[2] They did not arrive at Uyghur capital until 822. Princess Taihe was later created Renxiao Duanli Mingzhi Shangshou Khatun (人小椴黎明之上首可敦) by Muzong.[3]

He was visited by Muslim traveller Tamim ibn Bahr after his marriage. According to Tamim's notes, he had a personal army of 12000 with 17 subordinates each having 13000 soldiers.[4]

He died in 824 and was succeeded by his brother Zhaoli Qaghan.

Family

He had at least 5 sons:

Zhangxin Qaghan
Womosi Tegin (submitted to Tang China)
Alizhi (阿歷支) (submitted to Tang China)
Xiwuchuo (習勿啜) (submitted to Tang China)
Wuluosi (烏羅思) (submitted to Tang China)

gollark: Pagination when?

gollark: Well, it is still one of our xenowyrm overlords.

gollark: Cut it into tenths and give 7/10 to someone else.

gollark: Obviously, if you unhide it, the GoN inspectors *may* do a random test and fine you. In that case you may need to bribe them.

gollark: If you hide your scroll, the GoN inspectors can't see it, so you can summon any amount!
