The Tran dynasty ruled Vietnam from 1225 to 1400. The Tran family, which had effectively controlled the Vietnamese throne for many years, replaced the Ly dynasty in 1225 by arranging a marriage between one of its members and the last Ly monarch, an eight year old princess. Under the Tran dynasty the country prospered as its rulers carried out extensive land reform, improved public administration and encouraged the study of Chinese literature. The dynasty is best remembered for its defense of the country against the Mongols and the Cham: the Mongol armies of Kublai Khan invaded in 1257, 1284 and 1287, sacking the capital at Thang Long each time, and the third invasion was defeated under General Tran Hung Dao at the Bach Dang River. Wars with Champa marked the fourteenth century, and in 1400 General Ho Quy Ly seized the throne and founded the short lived Ho dynasty.
