Lê Lợi (Lê Thái Tổ)

1385 CE1433 CE · Thang Long (Hanoi)

Le Loi, honored as Le Thai To, was a Vietnamese landowner who in 1418 launched the Lam Son uprising against the Ming occupation of his country. Waging a long guerrilla campaign, he wore down and expelled the Ming forces by 1427, and in 1428 proclaimed himself emperor, founding the Later Le dynasty, the longest-lasting imperial house in Vietnamese history. He restored Vietnamese self-rule and undertook land redistribution and legal and administrative reforms.
