Trieu Tran

Japanese: チャン朝 - チャンちょう（英語表記）Trieu Tran

The second long-lasting and stable dynasty that succeeded the Ly dynasty of Vietnam. 1225-1400. Also written as Trần dynasty. The ancestors of the Trần dynasty are said to be from Fujian or Guilin, China, and for generations they lived in Tạc Mộc (Jimo Township) in Nam Dinh, where they made their living as fishermen or pirates. At the end of the Ly dynasty, Tran Ly (Chen Li) protected Ly Hue Tong (Lee Huizong), who had fled to the south after a coup by powerful officials, and married him to his daughter (former empress). He then recaptured Hanoi and became emperor, and his power rapidly expanded. During the civil war at the end of the Ly dynasty, a member of the family, Tran Tu Do (Chen Shou Du), served as a commander in chief of the palace and defeated local lords, and even succeeded in killing the last emperor of the Ly dynasty, Thiếu Hoang (Zhao Huang), under his nephew, Tran Khanh (Chen Xin, later Thanh Tong).

ベトナムのリ(李)朝を継いだ第2の長期安定王朝。1225‐1400年。陳朝とも書く。チャン朝の祖は中国の福建または桂林の人といわれ，代々ナムディンのトゥクムク(即墨郷)に住み，漁業あるいは海賊を業としていた。リ朝末期，権臣のクーデタにより南方に亡命していたリ･フエトン(李恵宗)をチャン･リ(陳李)が保護し，これに娘(元妃)をめとらせ，さらにハノイを奪還して帝位につけたことから急速に勢力を拡大した。リ朝末の内乱期には一族のチャン･トゥ･ド(陳守度)が殿前指揮使となって各地の土豪を討伐し，さらにリ朝最後の皇帝ティエウホアン(昭皇)を甥のチャン･カイン(陳煚（ちんけい），後のタイントン(太宗)。
