Following is the family tree of Vietnamese monarchs from the autonomous period of the Khúc clan (905–923) to the reign of Bảo Đại (1926–1945), the last emperor of the Nguyễn dynasty. Emperors, kings and lords of each monarch are denoted by different colours with the period of their reigns.
^d The second elder brother of Lê Thái Tổ was Grand Duke Lam Lê Trừ whose son was Grand Duke Quỳ Lê Khang. Lê Khang was the great-great-grandfather of the emperor Lê Anh Tông. Because Lê Trung Tông died without any son, Lê Anh Tông was chosen for the throne.[81]
^eLê Thần Tông held the throne from 1619 to 1643 and again from 1649 to 1662 in replacing his son Lê Chân Tông who died soon.[55]
^f Normally the persons in two successive boxes are connected by parental relation, however in this case, Trịnh Cương was not son, but great-grandson of Trịnh Căn. Since Trịnh Cương's father and grandfather both died before the death of Trịnh Căn, Trịnh Cương was chosen the successor of the Trịnh Lord.[82]
