Đèo Văn Trị

[1] In his early life Đèo Văn Trị had studied as a monk at Wat Xieng Thong temple in Luang Phrabang.

He responded with Tôn Thất Thuyết's Cần Vương movement together with Nguyễn Văn Giáp and Ngô Quang Bích.

During the Haw wars, three of his younger brothers were captured and held prisoner by a Siamese military expedition, which made him enraged.

Đèo Văn Trị used the temple as his headquarters, along with Wat Suwannaphumaham, sparing them any damage.

Pavie allied with Đèo Văn Trị and France recognised him as leader of Sip Song Chau Tai in 1890.
