biography

Hiệp Hòa was the last and only surviving son of Thiệu Trịs , the third, and a brother of T Đứcs , the fourth emperor of Vietnam in the summer of 1883 . Previously bearing the title "Văn Lãng Quận Công" (approximately: Duke of Văn Lãng ), he was made the successor of Dục Đức, who was deposed after three days in office, against his opposition .

During his tenure, the country was controlled by two powerful mandarins , the regents Tôn Thất Thuyết (1839–1913) and Nguyễn Văn Tường (1824–1886). One controlled the army, the other controlled the rest of the mandarins. Both rejected Hiệp Hòa on the throne.

When the French admiral Courbet took the capital Huế under cannon fire in August 1883 and the Vietnamese army could not do anything about it, Hiệp Hòa signed the treaty that made Vietnam a protectorate of France. Thus the “protecting power” took over the country's foreign policy. Many mandarins, but especially Tôn Thất Thuyết, who had already brought down the predecessor Dục Đức, were indignant about it. After Thuyết refused to kowtow in front of Hiệp Hòa, he feared for his life and turned to the protecting power. When Thuyết found out about this on November 28, 1883, he had Hiệp Hòa arrested, charged and deposed the following day, and the next day he was forced to poison himself. Since the third regent, Trần Tiễn Thành (1813–1883), did not want to agree to this procedure, he was also killed.

This chaotic time is also called "tứ nguyệt tam vương" - "four moons, three kings" in Vietnam.

family

Hiệp Hòa had 11 sons and 6 daughters.
