History

Trịnh Cán was born in 1777; he was sickly at birth. He became prince in 1780 after his brother Trịnh Khải abdicated. In September 1782, Trịnh Sâm died. Đặng Thị Huệ and Count Hoàng Đình Bảo helped Trịnh Cán succeed the rank of lord with the title Điện Đô vương when he was just 6 years old. Queen Đặng Thị Huệ officially controlled the royal court to help her son and Count Hoàng Đình Bảo rule, which enraged the army and civilians.

In October 1782, Dự Vũ, assistant of the coup leader Trịnh Khải, killed Hoàng Đình Bảo. He then forced Trịnh Cán to abdicate. Trịnh Cán was forced to live in exile and died one month later.
