The Tang Dynasty took control of the region of Chiaozhou after 618 and established twelve provinces and 59 districts under the Department of Annam Domination. This control last until 9th Century when the village of Khúc Thừa Dụ launched a rebellion against the Chinese in 905. By 906 an automomous region in Vietnam was established under the the Khúc clan in Tong Binh (modern day Hanoi) in 906.

A session of Khucs' Governors ruled during the short independence:

  • Khúc Thừa Dụ 905-907
  • Khúc Hạo 907-917 - son of Khuc Thua Du
  • Khúc Thừa Mỹ 917-930 - son of Khuc Hao
  • Dương Đình Nghệ (or Diên Nghệ) 931-938 - general overthrew both the Khuc clan and the Han Chinese

[edit] Rebellion and end of the Khucs

Governor Dương was killed by escort Kiều Công Tiễn in 938 and thus ending Khúc rule. This brief void left the region without rulers until Kiều fled and Dương's son-in-law Ngô Quyền established the Ngô Dynasty in 939.
