Biography

Lê Quang Trị was born in 1508 at Đông Kinh. He was the son of prince Lê Doanh [vi] who was killed by emperor Lê Uy Mục in 1509. He became emperor in 1516 with the support of generals Phùng Mại [vi] and Trịnh Duy Đại [vi]. However, Trịnh Duy Đại was defeated in battle by his cousin Trịnh Duy Sản [vi] who supported Lê Y. So he received Lê Quang Trị to Tây Đô [vi] about May 1516, then he killed Lê Quang Trị and the emperor's two brothers.[2] Lê Quang Trị only kept the throne for three days.

時惟㦃旣弑帝，乃與宗室大臣謀，欲立穆懿王子光治，武佐侯馮邁爭議立錦江王漴長子椅，祥郡公馮穎使力士殺邁於禁中議事堂，遂立光治。時年八歳。纔三日，未及改元，鄭惟岱將歸西都。
