Lê Ngọa Triều ((:le ŋwâˀː tʂjə̂w)) (986–1009), born ''Lê Long Đĩnh'' ((:le lɔŋ ɗǐˀɲ); 黎龍鋌) was the last king (1005–1009) of the Anterior Lê Dynasty of Vietnam. After killing the predecessor and also his brother Lê Long Việt, Lê Long Đĩnh took the throne and named his era Cảnh Thụy. ==Tyrannical and brutal reign== According to ''Đại Việt sử kí toàn thư'' (Complete Annals of Đại Việt), he was one of the most brutal and sadistic rulers during Vietnam's dynastic era. His reign was considered a reign of terror at the time. He is comparable to the Roman Emperor Caligula and Commodus in similar cruelty and paranoia. There were some short historic details about it: *He often executed innocent people who were condemned to death for entertainment purposes by some frightful ways such as tying them with hay to burn to death or ordering an executioner called Liêu Thủ Tâm (廖守心) from Great Song to gradually mutilate victims to death slowly them using dull bladed swords and axes. When the victims cried out in agony, this executioner would manipulate the victims that were not dying. The king is delighted in the deaths of these unfortunate victims. * After capturing prisoners of war, he ordered his soldiers to march the prisoners along the riversides and crammed them into cages that were tied along the river banks. When the high tides come in at dusk, he would watch them drown slowly. * The king himself often stuck livestock such as pigs or cows to death before he allowed servants to bring them to prepare them. At court banquets, he killed cats and served them to his guests and court officials and made them devour, he would play around with the severed heads in front of the court audience, making them frightened and they dared not complained about the ruler's audacity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lê Long Đĩnh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
