Lê Thánh Tông
1442 CE–1497 CE · Thang Long (Hanoi)
Lê Thánh Tông (1442–1497) was emperor of Đại Việt (Vietnam) from 1460 and is counted among its greatest monarchs. He reorganized the state along Confucian lines, dividing the country into provinces, instituting civil-service examinations, and promulgating the Hồng Đức legal code, which was notable for granting women certain property and inheritance rights. In 1471 his campaigns against the kingdom of Champa greatly extended Đại Việt's territory to the south, and his long reign is remembered as a period of order and cultural flourishing.
