Đại Việt

Vietnamese monarchy (10th–19th century)

Đại Việt (大越, IPA: [ɗâjˀ vìət]; literally Great Việt) was the official name of multiple Vietnamese monarchies in eastern Mainland Southeast Asia from the 10th century AD to the early 19th century, centered around the region of present-day Hanoi. The initial name, Đại Cồ Việt, was adopted in 968 by Emperor Đinh Bộ Lĩnh, following his successful campaigns that ended the Anarchy of the 12 Warlords and lasted until the beginning of the reign of Lý Thánh Tông (r. 1054–1072), the third emperor of the Lý dynasty.
