Emperor Hàm Nghi (咸宜帝) was the 8th Emperor of the Vietnamese Nguyễn Dynasty . He was born on August 3 , 1871 -d. 1943 , at the "Purple Forbidden City" of Huế . On July 4 , 1885 , the Mandarins' Revolt broke out under the leadership of Nguyễn Văn Tường and Tôn Thất Thuyết . They stormed the palace and Emperor Hàm Nghi and three empresses were taken away. They were taken to the hills and jungles around Laos along with these men, to wage a Guerrilla War against the French occupation forces. The French decided to replaced him with his brother Emperor Đồng Khánh and enthroned him as the Son of Heaven . In 1888 , after a series of setbacks of low supplies and supporters Emperor Hàm Nghi was betrayed by his bodyguard and turned over to the French colonial regime. On August 13 , 1888, he was exiled to Algeria , and remarried a French Algerian woman named Marcelle on November 4 , 1904 . They had three children, Prince Minh-Duc, Princess Nhu May and Princess Nhu Lý. The Socialist Republic Of Vietnam had sent a delegation to France to seek permission from Princess Nhu Lý (Countess De La Besse) to move her father's remains to the former Imperial capital of Huế. Her family has presently refused. |
