Triệu Việt Vương
second/third king of Vietnam (Vạn Xuân) during the Early Lý Dynasty
Years: 510 - 571
Triệu Việt Vương (571), born Triệu Quang Phục, is the second/third king of Vietnam (Vạn Xuân) during the Early Lý Dynasty in the sixth century, where he co-rules the kingdom alongside Lý Thiên Bảo from 548 until Lý Thiên Bảo's death in 555, when Triệu Việt Vương then becomes the sole ruler of the dynasty until his death in 571.
Unlike the other rulers of the Early Lý Dynasty, Triệu Việt Vương does not belong to the Lý family, and instead obtains his high position in the dynasty by being the commanding general of Vạn Xuân, where he is best known for leading a resistance against the Liang Empire (Chinese) that trieds to annex Vạn Xuân and is a pioneer in waging guerrilla war tactics.
