%%*Nhà Đinh (Đinh Dynasty) : After having suppressed 12 warlords, Đinh Tiên Hoàng founded Đinh Dynasty. The centralism continued to be strengthened, and the punishments were very severe (boiling or throwing criminals in tiger cages). The independence was firmly preserved, and the monks - the most intellectual stratum - were highly respected. The kings were Đinh Tiên Hoàng (969-979) and Đinh Phế Đế (Đinh Toàn, 979-980).
