Gyurmed Namgyal (Sikkimese: འགྱུར་མེད་རྣམ་རྒྱལ་; Wylie: 'gyur med rnam rgyal) was the fourth Chogyal (king) of Sikkim. He succeeded Chakdor Namgyal in 1716 and was succeeded himself by Phuntsog Namgyal II in 1733.[1]
During his reign, Limbuana rebelled and broke off from Sikkim. During his reign, Sikkim's borders were frequently raided by Bhutanese and Nepalese. Shortly before his death, Gyurmed revealed that a nun at Sangcheolling monastery had borne him a son, who was to be his successor. [2]
