Nguyễn Phúc Trăn

Nguyen Phuc Tran (Vietnamese: Nguyễn Phúc Trăn/ 阮福溙; 1650 – 7 February 1691) was one of the Nguyễn lords who ruled southern Vietnam from 1687 to 1691. During his short rule, a small rebellion by Ming Chinese was put down.
Nguyễn Phúc Trăn was the second son of Nguyễn Phúc Tần. Nguyễn Phúc Trăn took the title Hoang Quốc-Công (National Duke of Hoang, different from Quận-Công as Local Duke). With the end of the Trịnh–Nguyễn War, not much of note happened during Trăn's rule. It is reported that he needed to put down an uprising by Chinese immigrants who had settled in Saigon.
In 1689, he ordered an invasion of Cambodia. However, the Vietnamese general withdrew after meeting with the Cambodian king Chei Chettha III's envoy, a beautiful woman. In 1690 Nguyễn Phúc Trăn sent a more famous general, Nguyễn Hữu Hào, who also retreated after meeting the same woman, waiting for presents that never came.
On February 7, 1691, Nguyễn Phúc Trăn died and was succeeded by his eldest son, Nguyễn Phúc Chu.
