Tien Le Dynasty (980 AD - 1009 AD)
by Ch'ng Yaohong

With the Queen Mother's blessing, Le Hoan dethroned Dinh Bo Linh's heir and proclaimed himself King Le Dai Hanh. He retained the capital in Hoa Lu and succeeded in warding off several Chinese invasions by the Song court, but continued paying them tributes every three years in exchange for friendly relations.

Le Dai Hanh's reign marked the first attempt to consolidate the Viet nation. He devoted a great deal of energy to developing the road network in order to better administer the country's different regions. However, the local forces were still reluctant to yield to the central authority and so mounted a succession of revolts. in 1005, after 24 years of difficult rule, Le Dai Hanh died. In the ensuing period, the famous monk Khuong Viet managed to establish Buddhism as a way of thought and a stabilising pillar of the kingdom. Nevertheless, the Tien Le Dynasty eventually collapsed in 1009.
