đỗ liễu liễu

Prince Trung Võ Trần Thủ Độ (Hán tự: 陳守度, 1194–1264) was a general and leader of the Trần clan during the reign of Lý Huệ Tông and Lý Chiêu Hoàng of Vietnam. He was the chief mastermind between the overthrowal the Lý dynasty and the establishment of the Trần dynasty by his arrangement of marriage between the Empress Regnant Chiêu Hoàng and his nephew Trần Cảnh. He later forced Lý Chiêu Hoàng to abdicate the throne to Trần Cảnh, who became emperor as Trần Thái Tông. Trần Thủ Độ was appointed grand chancellor and regent to the emperor.
As the most powerful figure in the Trần royal family and court, Trần Thủ Độ was responsible for both civil and military matters in Đại Việt; his successful governance was considered by historical books as the crucial factor that not only led to the stability of the early Trần dynasty but also contributed to the victory of Đại Việt over the first Mongol invasion. Although a skilled and devoted official of the Trần dynasty, Trần Thủ Độ still remains a controversial figure in the history of Vietnam for his ruthlessness in massacring members of the deposed Lý royal family, and for his responsibility in the forced marriage between Trần Thái Tông and his brother Trần Liễu's wife, Princess Thuận Thiên, which was highly criticized by later historians.
