Gia Long (Nguyễn Ánh)
1762 CE–1820 CE · Hue
Gia Long, born Nguyen Anh, was heir to the Nguyen lords of southern Vietnam who survived the Tay Son revolt that destroyed much of his family. Campaigning northward from 1789 with a mix of local and foreign support, he defeated the Tay Son and in 1802 reunified Vietnam under a single rule for the first time in generations, founding the Nguyen dynasty, the country's last. Crowned at Hue, he built a centralized Confucian administration and promulgated the Gia Long legal code.
