==Battle with Ali Sher Khan Anchan==<br />
Jamyang Namgyal during his reign decided to support the Sultan of Chigtan and to capture [[Skardu]]. Namgyal's army was crossing the [[mountain pass]]es towards Purig during the winter season where his troops disappeared due to violent storm. [[Ali Sher Khan Anchan]]'s well trained army attacked Namgyal's army on the way and held them there until all the passes and valleys were blocked with snow; compelling Namgyal to surrender. Namgyal was imprisoned by Ali Sher Khan in Skardu. Sher Khann then attacked Ladakh, took control of the place, destroyed historical monuments and records.<ref name="Jamyang Namgyal reign start"/> After returning to Skardu, Sher Khan asked Jamyang Namgyal to marry his daughter ''Gyal Khatun'' in exchange of his release. Namgyal married Ali's daughter and returned to Ladakh.<ref name="Ladakh: The Land and the People"/><br />
