Phan Dinh Phung 

Born 1847 in Ha Tinh Province, Central Vietnam; died December 1895. Vietnamese state figure, a leader of the can vuong uprising against the French colonialists.

A court censor by profession, Phan Dinh Phung in 1885 roused the peasants and civil servants of Huong Khe District of Nghe An Province to armed rebellion against the French colonialists. By 1893 the revolt had spread throughout most of Nghe An and the provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, and Thanh Hoa. The rebels formed an army, arranged for the manufacture of weapons, and inflicted a number of defeats on the French troops. Soon after the death of Phan Dinh Phung, the uprising was suppressed by French punitive forces.
