Later Lê dynasty
The Later Lê dynasty was founded by Lê Lợi after he drove out the Ming occupation. Under Lê Thánh Tông it adopted a Confucian legal code and conquered much of Champa. From the 16th century real power passed to the rival Trịnh and Nguyễn lords, and the Tây Sơn ended the dynasty in 1789.
