Nguyễn Bặc

Nguyễn Bặc (chữ Hán: 阮匐; 924 – 15 October 979 lunar calendar) was a Vietnamese general and administrator. He helped future emperor Đinh Bộ Lĩnh put an end to the troubles of the Anarchy of the Twelve Warlords and to establish the short-lived Đinh Dynasty. After Đinh Bộ Lĩnh and his chosen successor Đinh Liễn were murdered by a palace official, Đỗ Thích, Nguyễn Bặc captured the murderer and had him executed. He then tried unsuccessfully to organize resistance to Lê Hoàn.
