Later Lê dynasty warlord period

The Later Lê dynasty warlord period (Vietnamese: Nhà Lê trung hưng; 1533–1789) is a distinction current in Vietnamese historiography to distinguish the 256-year-long period of the Later Lê when, following a six-year civil war, the emperor-kings were restored as figureheads, but power was held by a succession of warlords, from the 100-year-long Later Lê dynasty early period (Nhà Lê sơ) from 1428–1527, when the emperor-kings had actually ruled and held power.[1]
