Lê Văn Thịnh
Lê Văn Thịnh (
Chữ Hán: 黎文盛, 1038 – 1096),
courtesy name Mậu Phu (茂夫), was an official in the royal court of the
Lý dynasty. Ranking first in the first
imperial examination of the Lý dynasty, Lê Văn Thịnh was appointed tutor for
Lý Nhân Tông and was gradually promoted to the position of chancellor of the Lý dynasty due to his achievements, especially in the negotiation with the
Song dynasty about the return of occupied land by the Song army to
Annam in 1086.
Lê Văn Thịnh was charged with high
treason in 1096 and was banished to the mountainous area. Today the fact about the 1096 event is still a matter of debate.
