Đàng Ngoài was de-facto ruled by theTrịnh lords with theLê emperors acting as titular rulers. The capital was Thăng Long (nowHanoi). Thăng Long was also known asĐông Kinh 東京, meaning "Eastern Capital", from which the common European name for Đàng Ngoài "Tonkin" originated. It was bordered byĐàng Trong (under theNguyễn lords) along the Linh River (modernGianh River inQuảng Bình Province). The name gradually fell into disuse afterNguyễn Huệ's conquest of the north.
