Lady Triệu
3rd-century Vietnamese warrior
Lady Triệu (Vietnamese: Bà Triệu, [ɓàːt͡ɕiə̂ˀu], Chữ Nôm: 婆趙, died 248 AD) or Triệu Ẩu ([t͡ɕiə̂ˀuʔə̂u], Chữ Hán: 趙嫗) was a female warrior in 3rd century Vietnam who managed, for a time, to resist the rule of the Chinese Eastern Wu dynasty. She is also called Triệu Thị Trinh, although her actual given name is unknown. She is quoted as saying, "I'd like to ride storms, kill orcas in the open sea, drive out the aggressors, reconquer the country, undo the ties of serfdom, and never bend my back to be the concubine of whatever man." The uprising of Lady Triệu is usually depicted in modern Vietnamese National History as one of many chapters constituting a "long national independence struggle to end foreign domination." She is also known as Lệ Hải Bà Vương (chữ Hán: 麗海婆王, lit. "beautiful sea's lady king").[4]

Trieu Thi Trinh, Vietnam's krigare Lady
Sometime around 225 CE, a baby girl was born to a high-ranking family in nordlig Vietnam. We don't know her original given name, but she is generally known as Trieu Thi Trinh or Trieu An. The scanty sources that survive about Trieu Thi Trinh suggest that she was orphaned as a toddler, and was raised by an elder brother.
Lady Trieu Goes to War
At the time Vietnam was under the domination of the Eastern Wu Dynasty of China, which ruled with a heavy grabb. In 226, the Wu decided to demote and purge the local rulers of Vietnam, members of the Shih Dynasty. In the uprising that followed, the kinesisk killed more than 10,000 Vietnamese.
This incident was only the latest in centuries of anti-Chinese rebellion, including that led by the Trung Sisters more than 200 years earlier. When Lady Trieu (Ba Trieu) was about 19 years old, she decided to raise an army of her own and go to war against the oppressive kinesisk.
