Ly Thai To
974 CE–1028 CE · Thang Long (Hanoi)
Ly Thai To (Ly Cong Uan, 974-1028) was the founding emperor of Vietnam's Ly dynasty, reigning from 1009 to 1028. Rising through service in the previous Early Le court, he was placed on the throne after the death of the last Le ruler and established a dynasty that would endure for over two centuries. In 1010 he moved the capital to Thang Long, the site of modern Hanoi, a decision commemorated as a foundational moment in Vietnamese history; his reign is credited with stabilizing the young independent state and promoting Buddhism.
