Dai Viet (Vietnam|), Later Le Dynasty, Le Thanh Tong, 1460 - 1497
|Vietnam|, |Dai| |Viet| |(Vietnam|),| |Later| |Le| |Dynasty,| |Le| |Thanh| |Tong,| |1460| |-| |1497|, Le Thanh Tong was the 5th emperor of the Later Le dynasty. In 1459, his elder half brother, Nghi Dan, staged a coup and killed their brother, the emperor Le Nhan Tong. Nine months later, Nghi Dan was executed by rebels. Prince Tu Thanh, then 17, was asked to become the new emperor and he accepted. Known by his posthumous name, Le Thanh Tong, was the most prominent of all the Le rulers and one of the greatest Emperors in Vietnamese history. His rule was one of the high points in the history of Vietnam. Le Thanh Tong created and widely distributed a new legal code, also called Hong Duc. The new laws included recognition of the higher position of women in society. Parental consent was not required for marriage, and daughters were granted equal inheritance rights with sons. Le Thang Tong tried to be and essentially succeeded in becoming the ideal Confucian ruler; he was deeply concerned with maintaining a good government and keeping personal morality.
