Trần Thừa (chữ Hán: 陳承, 1184–1234) was the head of the Trần clan and a high-ranking mandarin during the reign of Lý Huệ Tông and Lý Chiêu Hoàng. After the overthrow of the Lý dynasty by Trần Thủ Độ, Trần Thừa's second son Trần Cảnh was enthroned as Trần Thái Tông, the first emperor of the Trần dynasty. Being the Emperor's father, Trần Thừa was honoured by the title Retired Emperor and given the temple name Trần Thái Tổ (陳太祖) after his death. He was thus the first retired emperor of the Trần dynasty and the only one who had not held the throne.
History
Trần Thừa was born in 1184 as the first son of Trần Lý who made his great fortune by fishing in
In October 1224, Lý Huệ Tông decided to cede the throne to his daughter, the Princess Chiêu Thánh, now the Empress Regnant
Unlike other retired emperors of the Trần dynasty, who usually co-ruled with the reigning emperor, Trần Thái Tổ only held the honorary title of Retired Emperor while grand chancellor Trần Thủ Độ took charge of restoring order in the royal court and put down the tough revolt of Nguyễn Nộn and Đoàn Thượng.[10] Thái Tổ died on January 18 of the Lunar calendar, 1234 at the age of 51, and was buried in Thọ Lăng with the posthumous name Khai Vận Lập Cực Hoằng Nhân Ứng Đạo Thuần Chân Chí Đức Thần Vũ Thánh Văn Thùy Dụ Chí Hiếu Hoàng Đế.[11]
