Lê Kính Tông (chữ Hán: 黎敬宗, 1588 – 23 June 1619), also known as Lê Duy Tân (黎維新) was the 16th emperor of the Vietnamese Later Lê dynasty reigning from 1599 to 1619. He served as a figurehead monarch while Lord Trịnh Tùng held full authority over the government and the army. In 1619, Kính Tông conspired with Trịnh Xuân to remove Trịnh Tùng from power. The plot failed and the emperor was killed.[1] [2]
