Anyone know anything about Tran Hung Dao? I've done a ton of research, but haven't found much about his personal life. But I think that actual Vietnamese people would know better about him than a bunch of websites. So, if there's any Vietnamese people out there, or people who know a lot of about Tran Hung Dao, plz help me!

General Trần Hưng Đạo led the Vietnamese army to defeat the Mongolian invading army. The world-conquering Mongols lost only in Japan (only after their fleet was nearly wiped out in the storm with just a few soldiers left to invade Japan) and Vietnam. The Mongols invaded VN twice and twice they were beaten by THD.
