Lê Thế Tông

Lê Thế Tông (chữ Hán: 黎世宗, 1567 – 12 October 1599, reigned 1573 – 1599), real name Lê Duy Đàm (黎維潭) was the 15th emperor of the later Lê dynasty of Vietnam. He reigned only nominally, under the power of warlord Trịnh Tùng, who took King Lê Thế Tông to the Royal capital Đông Đô in 1593 marking the formal restoration of the Lê Dynasty, but not allowing the emperor decision-making powers.[1]
