Ly Bon

Ly Bon

▪ Vietnamese leader
also called  Ly Ban,  Li Bi , or  Ly Bi , reign name  Li Nam-Viet De Bon , or  Li Nam De 
born , Giao-chao province, northern Vietnam
died 549, Laos

      founder of the first Vietnamese dynasty mentioned in extant historical records, and Vietnam's first great champion of independence.

      Ly Bon led a successful revolt against the Chinese governor of Giao-chao province in 542 and captured the capital at Long Bien. Two years later he proclaimed himself emperor and assumed his royal name. The earliest surviving Vietnamese historical records (13th–14th century) indicate that he controlled a vast territory, covering most of what is now northern and central Vietnam, and his authority was recognized throughout the Red River delta in the north and southward to the frontiers of the Champa kingdom. He named his newly founded empire Van Xuan, implying that it would last “One Thousand Springs.” The Chinese regained power, however, defeating Ly Bon in 547 at the northern village of Chu Dien. Seeking refuge, Ly Bon fled to Laos, but he was killed by local tribesmen who decapitated him and sent his head to the Chinese.

      Though short-lived, Ly Bon's kingdom formed the nucleus of the future Dai Viet, the first truly independent Vietnamese state. Shortly thereafter two other Viets attempted to gain control over Giao-chao: Ly Xuan (589–590) and Ly Phat Tu (late 590s–603). These three together constitute what has been called the Earlier Ly dynasty to distinguish it from that established by Ly Thai To in 1009 (the Later Ly dynasty; q.v.).
