Tag: Lý Chiêu Hoàng

The power transition between the Lý and Trần dynasties is believed to have been very smooth. But why wasn't the first king of the Trần dynasty called Trần Thái Tổ?

The first king of the Tran dynasty was given the throne by his wife, Queen Ly Chieu Hoang, but later was forced by the nobles to divorce her in order to marry his pregnant sister-in-law.
