'''Kyide Nyimagon''' (died {{circa|930}}){{sfn|Hāṇḍā|2001|p=128}} ({{bo|t=སྐྱིད་ཨིདེ་ཉི་མ་མགོན|w=skyid ide nyi ma mgon|s=kyi idé nyi ma gön}}; {{zh|c=吉德尼玛衮|p=jídé nímǎgǔn}}), whose original name was '''Khri-skyid-lding''', was a member of the [[Yarlung dynasty]] of [[Tibetan Empire|Tibet]] and a descendant of emperor [[Langdarma]], who founded the kingdom of [[Ngari Khorsum]] ("the three divisions of Ngari"){{sfn|Ryavec|2015|p=70}} in Western Tibet around 912 CE. After his death, his large kingdom was divided among his three sons, giving rise to the three kingdoms of [[Maryul]] (Ladakh), [[Purang-Guge Kingdom|Guge-Purang]] and [[Zanskar]]-[[Spiti]].<br />
<br />
== Family ==<br />
After the assassination of the emperor [[Langdarma]], the Tibetan empire entered a period of civil war over succession by Langdarma's two sons {{ill|Yumtän|WD=Q10880716}} (Yum-brtan) and {{ill|Ösung|WD=Q10887423}} ('Odsrung), which divided the empire into two parts.{{sfn|Ryavec|2015|p=70}}<ref>{{citation |last=Schlichtmann |first=Klaus |title=A Peace History of India: From Ashoka Maurya to Mahatma Gandhi |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1UYKDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT108 |year=2016 |publisher=Vij Books India Pvt Ltd |isbn=978-93-85563-52-2 |p=108}}</ref><br />
Ösung's son [[Depal Khortsen]] ({{circa|870}}–{{circa|910}}){{sfn|McKay|2003|p=57}} is believed to have controlled most or part of Central Tibet.{{sfn|Petech|1977|pp=14–15}}<br />
<br />
Palgyigon was one of the sons of Depal Khortsen, the other being Trashi Tsentsän (''bKraśis-brtsegs-brtsan'').{{sfn|Petech|1977|p=15}} Both the sons fled [[Ü-Tsang]] (Central Tibet) in 910 when their father was murdered, at the end of the 3rd {{ill|revolt in Ü-Tsang|fr|révolte de l'Ü-Tsang}}, which is taken to mark the beginning of the Tibetan [[Era of Fragmentation]].<br />
<br />
== Reign ==<br />
Nyimagon established a kingdom in [[Ngari]] (Western Tibet), in or around 912. He annexed the kingdoms of [[Burang County|Purang]] and [[Guge]]. He then established his capital in Guge.<br />
<br />
The [[Sino-Tibetan]] culture came to replace the culture of Brokpa and Mons in present-day [[Ladakh]], which had been present in the region for a long time.{{Sfn|Hāṇḍā|2001|p=128}}<br />
<br />
== Succession ==<br />
He gave [[Lhachen Palgyigon]] ({{bo|t=དཔལ་གྱི་མགོན|w=dpal gyi mgon}}), his elder son, the kingdom of [[Maryul]] (now known as Ladakh).{{sfn|Francke|1992|p=94}} His other two sons, {{ill|Tashigön|fr}} ({{bo|t=བཀྲ་སིས་མགོན|w=bkra sis mgon}}), and {{ill|Detsukgön|fr}} ({{bo|t=ལྡེ་གཙུག་མགོན|w=lde gtsug mgon}}) received respectively [[Purang-Guge Kingdom|Guge-Purang]] and [[Zanskar]]. These three countries together were called {{ill|Ngari Korsum|fr}}.{{sfn|Fisher|Rose|Huttenback|1963|p=19}}{{sfn|Francke|1992|p=94}}<br />
<br />
He died around 930.{{sfn|Hāṇḍā|2001|p=128}}<br />
<br />
Tashigön's son [[Yeshe-Ö]], lama-king, who inherited from him Guge-Purang in 967,{{sfn|Hāṇḍā|2001|p=209}} abdicated in 975 and devoted himself to monastic life.<br />
