Hồ Quý Ly
Trần Thiếu Đế's name (𤇼 / Yên) was suggested by "Khâm định Việt sử thông giám cương mục", because Nguyễn dynasty's officials could not find the exact Chinese character for this sovereign (). At the age of only three, he was chosen to succeed his father Trần Thuận Tông who was forced by Hồ Quý Ly to resign and hold the title Retired Emperor. Only two years after Thiếu Đế's coronation, Hồ Quý Ly overthrew the Emperor to establish his own dynasty, the Hồ Dynasty.
