The Trần family, known for their bravery, wisdom, and cunning, had been quietly building their power base, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. With the marriage of Trần Cảnh to Lý Chiêu Hoàng, the last Lý monarch, the Trần Dynasty officially began its reign, marking the start of a new era of peace, prosperity, and cultural flourishing.
The royal wedding between Trần Cảnh and Lý Chiêu Hoàng was a masterstroke of diplomacy, as the two families came together to forge a powerful alliance. This strategic union not only secured the Trần Dynasty's claim to power but also brought together the two most influential families in Vietnam, paving the way for a period of unprecedented growth and development.
