Nguyễn Phúc Dương

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nguyễn Phúc Dương (died 1777) was one of the Nguyễn lords who ruled over the southern portion of Vietnam from the 16th-18th centuries. Duong was the first son of lord Nguyen Phuc Khoat's eldest son Nguyen Phuc Hieu. From 1774 to 1776, Duong was captured and used by Tay Son rebels to gain popularity among Southern Vietnameses. In 1776, he escaped and fled to Gia Dinh. Thereafter, Ly Tai, a Chinese mercenary general of Nguyen army, made him Tân Chính Vương, a co-lord position with Nguyen Phuc Thuan. In 1777, Duong was captured and executed by Tay Son rebels.
