Le Loi (sh)




or Binh Dinh Vuong or Thuan Thien

born 1385, Lam Son, Viet.
died 1433

Vietnamese General who won back independence for Vietnam from China and founded the Later Le dynasty (1428-1788).

A wealthy landowner, he was affected by the social conditions of the common people, who suffered under the Chinese and the Vietnamese aristocracy. His series of revolts, begun in 1418, drove the Chinese out. From then on he maintained diplomatic relations with the Chinese Ming dynasty, even sending tribute; the Ming acknowledged his kingdom in 1428. Among his achievements were land reforms to help the peasants. He is the most honoured Vietnamese hero of his time.
