Tran Thai Tong
1218 CE–1277 CE · Thang Long (Hanoi)
Tran Thai Tong (Tran Canh, 1218-1277) was the founding emperor of Vietnam's Tran dynasty, reigning from 1226 to 1258. Placed on the throne as a child through the maneuvering of his powerful kinsman Tran Thu Do, who engineered the peaceful transfer of power from the declining Ly dynasty, he presided over the consolidation of Tran rule. In 1258 he led the Dai Viet resistance that repelled the first Mongol invasion, then abdicated to become a retired emperor; he was also a devout student of Zen Buddhism who authored religious writings.
