Biography
Lê Hiến Tông (chữ Hán: 黎憲宗, 1461 – 1504) was the 6th monarch of Vietnam's Lê dynasty reigning over Đại Việt from 1497 to 1504.
He promulgated the legal code of his father Lê Thánh Tông (1442–1497) in the Khâm định Việt sử Thông giám cương mục. His death in 1504 marked the beginning of the crisis in sixteenth-century Đại Việt which continued eighty-eight years till the Trịnh Lords drove the Mạc dynasty from the capital Thăng Long.
