Trần Thuận Tông

Trần Thuận Tông, (1378–1399), given name Trần Ngung, is the eleventh emperor of the Trần Dynasty who reigns in Đại Việt from 1388 to 1398.

He is chosen to succeed to this position by his father, the Retired Emperor Trần Nghệ Tông, after Nghệ Tông decides to dethrone and force Trần Phế Đế to commit suicide.

Although holding the position of emperor for ten years and retired emperor for one more year, Thuận Tông's reign is totally under the control of Nghệ Tông and the general Hồ Quý Ly.

It is Hồ Quý Ly who obliges Thuận Tông to change the capital from Thăng Long to Thanh Hóa, Hồ Quý Ly is also responsible for the resignation of Thuận Tông as emperor and his death afterward.

Only one year after Thuận Tông's death, the Trần Dynasty collapses and Hồ Quý Ly establishes his own dynasty, the Hồ Dynasty.
