Khúc Thừa Mỹ
Khúc Thừa Mỹ was a self-declared jiedushi of Tĩnh Hải quân during the later part of the Third Chinese domination of Vietnam, when China entered the chaotic Five Dynasties period. He succeeded his father Khúc Hạo and tried to maintain northern Vietnam's autonomy. But the new emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty invaded in 930, capturing the capital Đại La with no resistance, and Khúc Thừa Mỹ was taken to Canton, where he was placed under comfortable house arrest. The Chinese domination of Vietnam was thereby reestablished.
