Summary
| Description |
English: Rebel 陳景 Tran-cao. 1516-1521.
This rebel appeared in the province of 海楊 Hai-duong, giving himself out to be a great-grandson of King 陳太宗 TRAN THAI-TONG, and pretending that he were a living incarnation of Buddha. He soon gathered a numerous army, his soldiers being all dressed in black and having their heads shaved. After twice besieging Hanoi, he took it by storm in 1517, and then proclaimed himself king under the name of 天應 THIEN-UNG. He soon had to leave the capital, however, as the royal troops gathered round it in great numbers, and Thien-ung took refuge in the provinces of 朗原 Lang-nguyen and 海榻 Hai-duong, transferring his authority to his sun 恭 CUNG and finally becoming a priest. CUNG took 宣和 TUYEN-HOA as the name of his reign and succeeded in establishing a small kingdom consisting of the provinces of 朗原 Lang-nguyen and 京北 Kinh-bac. There he reigned in peace until 1521, when he was attacked and killed by the armies of 莫登庸 MAC DANG-DUNG. No. 168. (Barker: 42.1-42.3) Obverse: 天應通寶 Thien-ung-thong-bao. Reverse: plain. Coin issued by the rebel king Tran-cao. |
