9th King. - 昭宗 Chieu-tong. 1517-1523. Was the Prince 誼 Y, who practically neither reigned nor governed. He had no personal history, and that of his country is reduced to a record of the contests between the Generals TRINH, NGUYEN, and MAC. The latter had the advantage for a time, and 莫登庸 MAC DANG-DUNG had the good fortune of overcoming not only his rivals, but also the rebels who existed in the provinces. He obtained from the king the appointment as Lieutenant-General of the kingdom, and his power was so great, that the king himself tried to escape from it, and one niglit quietly ran away from the palace to General TRINH'S camp to obtain assistance. MAC at once took advantage of the situation, and after having appointed as king the Prince 春 Xuan, pursued the fugitive monarch as far as the Laos frontier, where he was made a prisoner, kept in captivity for five years, and finally murdered.
 
 
Lê Tương Dực
Lê Tương Dực (chữ Hán: 黎襄翼; 1495–1516), reigned 1509-1516, was the ninth emperor of the later Lê dynasty of Vietnam. He usurped the throne after assassinating his ruthless and unpopular cousin.

He was a cousin of Lê Thánh Tông, rising to power after the years of turmoils. Besides reorganizing the court officials, he attempted to revive the glory of the dynasty. His reign witnessed the compilation of a new book of history, Đại Việt thông giám thông khảo, by Vũ Quỳnh, and Trị bình bảo phạm, or Rules for Securing Peace, according to Confucian ethics. Nguyễn Bính Khiêm, a notable scholar - official, rose to a position of censor, and later the commander in suppressing the rebels.

However, in spring 1516, a group of imperial guards, led by Trịnh Duy Sản, murdered Lê Tương Dực in the capital.
