Mes Ag Tshoms (, "Bearded Grandfather"), birth name Tridé Tsuktsen (, 704–755 CE)〔Bacot, J., et al. (1940), pp. 40, 54.〕 was the emperor of the Tibetan Empire and the son of Tridu Songtsen and his queen, Tsenma Toktokteng, Princess of Chim (). He is usually known by his nickname ''Mé Aktsom'' "Bearded Grandfather", which was given to him later in life because he was so hirsute.〔Shakabpa, Tsepon W. D. ''Tibet: A Political History'' (1967), p. 32. Yale University Press, New Haven and London〕 His father, Tridu Songtsen, died in 704 in battle in Mywa〔Beckwith, C. I. "The Revolt of 755 in Tibet", p. 5 note 10. In: ''Weiner Studien zur Tibetologie und Buddhismuskunde''. Nos. 10-11. (Steinkellner and Helmut Tauscher, eds. ''Proceedings of the Csoma de Kőrös Symposium Held at Velm-Vienna, Austria, 13–19 September 1981''. Vols. 1-2. ) Vienna, 1983.〕 territory in the Kingdom of Nanzhao (, modern lowland Yunnan). The ''Old Book of Tang'' states he was on his way to suppress tributary kingdoms on the southern borders of Tibet, including Nepal and parts of India. There was a dispute among his sons but "after a long time" the people put seven-year-old Tridé Tsuktsen on the throne.〔Pelliot, Paul. ''Histoire Ancienne du Tibet''. Paris. Libraire d'amérique et d'orient. 1961, p. 12.〕 ==Struggle for the throne== It is very unclear, however, from the sources exactly what happened after the death of Tridu Songtsen. According to the Tibetan Annals, "he who would be crowned king" (i.e. Mes-ag-tshoms?) was born in the spring of 704, just a few months before his father died. Beckwith states that in the winter of 704-705, Lha ("Balpho" or Lha Balpo), one of the sons of Tridu Songtsen, took the throne, but Thrimalö (), the empress dowager, wife of the second emperor, Mangsong Mangtsen, and mother of Tridu Songtsen, "dethroned Lha in favor of the infant Rgyal Gtsug ru, the future Khri gtsug brtsan, popularly known as Mes ag tshoms. Revolts and executions accompanied the virtual coup, but the ''Annals'' and Chinese sources have little to report on them. It is interesting to note that Lha apparently was not killed, but only forced into semiretirement. It was thus, perhaps, the "Retired Emperor" Lha who actually received and married the Chinese princess Chin-ch'eng in 710.〔Beckwith, C. I. "The Revolt of 755 in Tibet", pp. 1-14. In: ''Weiner Studien zur Tibetologie und Buddhismuskunde''. Nos. 10-11. (Steinkellner and Helmut Tauscher, eds. ''Proceedings of the Csoma de Kőrös Symposium Held at Velm-Vienna, Austria, 13–19 September 1981''. Vols. 1-2. ) Vienna, 1983.〕 In any event, Tibet experienced more internal unrest, and was conspicuously quiet on its borders with China."〔Beckwith, Christopher I. 1987. ''The Tibetan Empire in Central Asia: A History of the Struggle for Great Power among Tibetans, Turks, Arabs, and Chinese during the Early Middle Ages''. Princeton University Press. ISBN 0-691-02469-3, pp. 69-70.〕 Whatever the case, Mé Aktsom was crowned king in 705 CE,〔Bacot, J., et al. (1940), p. 40.〕 although he was not formally enthroned until the death of Thrimalö in 712.〔''Ancient Tibet'', p. 242.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Me Agtsom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
