The son of Emperor Thieu Tri, Prince Nguyen Hong Nhiem was born on September 22, 1829, and succeeded his father on the throne, with the reigning title of "Tu Duc", but family troubles caused his era to have a violent start. Thieu Tri had passed over his more moderate eldest son, Hong Bao, to give the throne to Tu Duc, known for his staunch Confucianism and opposition to foreigners and innovation. As a result, and due to the repressive policies of the previous Nguyen Dynasty emperors, there was now a great deal of dissatisfaction with Nguyen rule and a legitimate royal figure to rally this opposition.
