On the second day in Huế we hired a guide to take us by boat down the Perfume River to visit tombs of some of the kings from 1802 to 1945.
You might notice in the list below that some of the kings were in power for a very short time. This was all under control of the French, and if a king was not doing as the French wanted he was removed in various ways. The tomb complexes are spread across the countryside outside of Huế.
13 Nguyễn kings include:
- Gia Long king (1802-1819)
- Minh Mạng king (1820-1840)
- Thiệu Trị king (1841-1847)
- Tự Đức king (1848-1883)
- Dục Đức king (1883, 3 ngày)
- Hiệp Hòa king (30.7.1883-29.11.1883)
- Kiến Phúc king (2.12.1883-31.7.1884)
- Hàm Nghi king (1884-1885)
- Đồng Khánh king (1886-1888)
- Thành Thái king (1889-1907)
- Duy Tân king (1907-1916)
- Khải Định king (1916-1925)
- Bảo Đại king (1926-1945)
