Ngô Nhật Khánh
Ngô Nhật Khánh was a warlord of Vietnam during the Period of the 12 Warlords.
Khánh was a grandson of Ngô Quyền. He occupied Đường Lâm, and titled himself Ngô Lãm Công.
Khánh was defeated by Đinh Bộ Lĩnh in 968. Đinh Bộ Lĩnh married his mother. Khánh also married a daughter of Đinh Bộ Lĩnh, and one of his sisters married Đinh Liễn. But Khánh hated Đinh Bộ Lĩnh intensely. Later, he fled to Champa.
In October 979, Đinh Bộ Lĩnh and Đinh Liễn were killed by a eunuch named Đỗ Thích while they were sleeping in the palace courtyard, and the country felt into chaos. After hearing the news, Khánh encouraged Paramesvaravarman I, the king of Champa, to invade Đại Cồ Việt. His hope was dashed when a storm destroyed much of the Champa fleet. He fell overboard and drowned.
