Mangsong Mangtsen (Tibetan: མང་སྲོང་མང་བཙན), Trimang Löntsen or Khri-mang-slon-rtsan (r. 655–676 CE) succeeded to the Tibetan throne either after the death of his father Gungsong Gungtsen, or of his grandfather the 33rd Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo. He became the 34th king of Tibet's Yarlung Dynasty, and the second king during the Tibetan Empire era (c. 637–848).
As Songtsen Gampo's only son had died early, he was succeeded by his infant grandson Mangsong Mangsten. Political power was left in the hands of the minister Gar Tongtsen (Mgar-srong-rtsan, or sometimes just mGar).[1][2]
