Nguyễn Phúc Cảnh, also known as Prince Cảnh, was the eldest son of the Vietnamese Prince Nguyễn Phúc Ánh, the future Emperor Gia Long. At the age of 7, he famously visited France with the French Catholic Father Pigneau de Béhaine to sign an alliance between France and Vietnam. Although Prince Canh was the legitimate heir to the throne, he died before his father, and none of his descendants ascended the throne after one of his half-brothers was chosen by Gia Long.

You devoted yourself to recover the fortunes of Annam, and, as a consummate strategist, elaborated plans for the defeat of the enemy.
