Hoàng Diệu

Hoàng Diệu (chữ Hán: 黃耀, 1828 - 25 April 1882) was a Nguyễn Dynasty governor of Hanoi on behalf of Emperor Tự Đức resident in Huế. He committed suicide when the French under captain Henri Rivière, having exceeded his superiors' orders, suddenly took the citadel of Hanoi in 25 April 1882.[1][2][3][4] His grandson was the Paris-trained philosopher Phan Khôi.
