Nguyễn Phúc Miên Bửu
Nguyễn Phúc Miên Bửu was a prince of Nguyễn dynasty, Vietnam.
He was the twelfth son of Minh Mạng, and his mother was Hồ Thị Tùy. In 1843, he was granted the title Tương An Công by Emperor Thiệu Trị, and became the teacher of two princes, Nguyễn Phúc Hồng Bảo and Nguyễn Phúc Hồng Nhậm. Hồng Bảo disliked studying, so Thiệu Trị did not like him, and lost his succession of the throne. Thiệu Trị died in 1847, and appointed Hồng Bảo's younger brother Hồng Nhậm as successor.
In 1854, Hồng Bảo plotted a rebellion against Tự Đức and was forced to commit suicide. Miên Bửu was suspected of taking in this plot, but there was no evidence. Feeling sad for the fate of Hồng Bảo, he died in the same year. Finally, Tự Đức decided to pardon him, and granted him the title Tương An Quận Vương in 1878 posthumously.
Miên Bửu was good at writing Vietnamese poetry. He and Nguyễn Phúc Miên Thẩm, Nguyễn Phúc Miên Trinh, were known as "Tam Đường" of Nguyễn dynasty. He was a member of Mạc Vân thi xã. Nguyễn Phúc Miên Định, Nguyễn Phúc Miên Thủ, Nguyễn Phúc Miên Thẩm, Nguyễn Phúc Miên Trinh, Nguyễn Phúc Miên Triện, Nguyễn Văn Siêu, Cao Bá Quát, Hà Tôn Quyền, Phan Thanh Giản and Nguyễn Đăng Giai were also members of this poetry society.
