History
Quân Lang[a] was born approximately 1375 B.C., and took the regnal name of Hùng Định Vương (雄定王) upon becoming Hùng king.[2] The series of all Hùng kings following Quân Lang took that same regnal name of Hùng Định Vương to rule over Văn Lang until approximately 1252 B.C.[2]
The Đồng Đậu culture strongly influenced the processes involved in making ceramic of this period.[3]
