Notes

• Kiều Công Tiễn was only adopted son of DÆ°Æ¡ng Đình Nghệ.
• Although being a king of the Ngô dynasty, DÆ°Æ¡ng Tam Kha came from the DÆ°Æ¡ng family as he is DÆ°Æ¡ng Đình Nghệ's son.
• DÆ°Æ¡ng Nhật Lá» was only adopted son of Prince Cung Túc, so he did not bear the family name Trần like other emperors of the Trần dynasty.
• The second elder brother of Lê Thái Tổ was Grand Duke Lam Lê Trừ whose son was Grand Duke Quỳ Lê Khang. Lê Khang was the great-great-grandfather of the emperor Lê Anh Tông. Because Lê Trung Tông died without any son, Lê Anh Tông was chosen for the throne.
• Lê Thần Tông held the throne from 1619 to 1643 and again from 1649 to 1662 in replacing his son Lê Chân Tông who died soon.
• Normally the persons in two successive boxes are connected by parental relation, however in this case, Trịnh CÆ°Æ¡ng was not son, but great-grandson of Trịnh Căn. Since Trịnh CÆ°Æ¡ng's father and grandfather both died before the death of Trịnh Căn, Trịnh CÆ°Æ¡ng was chosen the successor of the Trịnh Lord.
• Gia Long held the position Nguyễn Lord from 1781 to 1802, afterward he became the first emperor of the Nguyễn dynasty from 1802 to 1819.
