Summary
| Description |
English: Rebel 光紹帝 Quang-thieu-de. 1531-1532.
During this period the MAC family had usurped the throne of Annam, but did not actually reign. Rebels without number revolted against their rule, and one of these was QUANG-THIEU, a member of the royal LE family. In 1531 he assembled an army of loyal followers in the province of 清華 Thanh-hoa. Having defeated the troops commanded by MAC DANG-DUNG in person, he hastened to besiege the city of 西都 Tay-do (Hue). His first successes were the cause of his ruin, just as it had happened before to many other rebel chiefs, for he allowed himself to be ignominiously surprised by General 莫國 MAC-QUOC, and being made a prisoner, he was transferred to Hanoi and sentenced to death by cutting to pieces. His followers were soon disbanded and took refuge in the province of Ailao. No. 169. (Barker: see 40.1-40.5) Obverse: 光紹通寶 Quang-thieu-thong-bao. Reverse: plain. These coins have the same inscriptions as those issued by King 昭宗 Chieu-tong; (1517) but they are not of such good workmanship, and the copper is nearly black. |
