Nguyễn Phúc Khoát (26 September 1714 – 7 July 1765) was one of the Nguyễn lords who ruled over the southern portion of Vietnam from the 16th-18th centuries. Also known as Chúa Võ (主武) or Võ vương (武王)[1][2][3][4][5] (roughly Martial King), he continued the southern expansion undertaken by his predecessor, Nguyễn Phúc Trú. Provinces and districts originally belonging to Cambodia were taken by Khoát. The Vietnamese-Cambodian border established by the end of his reign remains the border today.[6][7] The de jure pretense of loyalty to the Lê dynasty was performed by Khoát.[8]

In 1747, Khoát sent a number of Vietnamese warriors to aid rebel princes of Cambodia against the newly crowned Cambodian King

Kampot, and Kompong Som
.

Nguyễn Phúc Khoát died in 1765, and was succeeded by his sixteenth son, Nguyễn Phúc Thuần.[9] The presumed heir was originally his second son Nguyễn Phúc Chương.[10] After his death, his demise was taken advantage of by the Tây Sơn and its subsequent rebellion later in 1778.[11]

Culture

Trousers and tunics on the Chinese pattern in 1774 were ordered by the Võ vương Emperor to replace the traditional Vietnamese skirt of women.[12] However, Han-Chinese clothing are assembled by several pieces of clothing including both pants and skirts called quần (裙) or thường (裳) which is a part of Hanfu garments throughout the history of Han Chinese clothing. The Chinese Han, Tang and Ming dynasty clothing was referred to by Nguyễn Phúc Khoát.[13]

Missionaries and Christianity were banned by Nguyễn Phúc Khoát in 1750,[14] however he did listened to music by western missionaries.[15]
