Dương Đình Nghệ
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dương Đình Nghệ (?-937) was the Chinese administrator of Giao Chỉ in around 931 AD. He was a skillful, talented general under Khúc Hạo, descendant of the Khúc family dynasty who wrestled Chinese control for 3 generations barely a dozen of years ago. Dương Đình Nghệ anyway was challenged and defeated eventually by his general Kiều Công Tiễn who then moved up to the post of governor/administrator. 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.
