Phạm Cự Lạng

Phạm Cự Lạng (chữ Hán: 范巨倆, 944–984) or Phạm Cự Lượng (范巨量), was a general of Đại Cồ Việt, who served as Grand Commandant during the Đinh dynasty and Early Lê dynasty.

Lạng was born in Trà Hương, Khúc Giang (mordern Nam Sách District, Hải Dương Province).

[1] His father Phạm Lệnh Công was a general of Ngô Quyền.

Song China took note of the weakened condition of Đại Cồ Việt and began to make plans for reconquering the country.

Before the troops set out, Lạng staged a coup, and declared Lê Hoàn the new emperor.
