Le Van Khoi

Le Van Khoi

Lê Văn Khôi (-1834) was the adopted son of the Vietnamese general Le Van Duyet. He led the 1833-1835 Le Van Khoi revolt against Emperor Minh Mang, but died in 1834.

As Le Van Duyet was being prosecuted and his relatives condemned, Le Van Khoi had been imprisonned, but managed to escape on May 10, 1833. [Chapuis, p.192] Soon, numerous people joined his revolt, in the desire to avenge Le Van Duyet and challenge the legitimacy of the Nguyen dynasty.

[Chapuis, p.192]

Le Van Khoi died in December 1834 during the siege and was succeeded by his 8-year old son Le Van Cu. [Chapuis, p.192] The Citadel fell in September 1835, and Le Van Cu was tortured and executed, together with the French missionary Joseph Marchand.
