(Redirected from Fan Yang Mai I)

Fan Yang Mai I or Pham Duong Mai I (Chinese: 范陽邁, Middle Chinese: buam’-jɨaŋ-maɨjh/mɛ:jh) was briefly the king of Champa, an area populated by the Cham ethnic group in present-day Vietnam. He overthrew the previous dynasty and seized the throne in 420, following years of internal trouble. According to the Chinese Book of Jin and Book of Song, after launching an unsuccessful raid in Tonkin, he requested investiture from China in 421. He died in the same year.[1]
