Lê Chiêu Tông

Lê Chiêu Tông

Lê Chiêu Tông (r. 1516-1526) was a king of the Lê Dynasty of Vietnam. Succeeding Le Tuong Đức, who was assassinated in 1516, his short reign was heavily colored by continuing factionalism and jockeying for power between the Mạc and Nguyen families, and his own.

In 1524, Le had been forced by a rebellion to flee the capital; this rebellion was quashed by General Mạc Đăng Dung, who took the opportunity to seize power for himself. Lê Chieu Tông was killed by Mạc supporters shortly afterwards, and would be the last king of the Lê dynasty.
