He was born on February 15, year of the Goat (1319), when he was 10 years old, he was enthroned by his father, King Tran Minh Tong, stayed on the throne for 13 years, died on June 11, Tan Ty year (1341), at the age of 23. The king who ascended to the throne at a young age died early, so the control of the main court, the suppression of rebellion and the preservation of the territory were all undertaken by Thai Thuong Emperor Tran Minh Tong. He is recognized by history books as a man with "elite, lucid, peaceful disposition, but he did not stay on the throne for long, did not see any competition". August 16, 1344 was buried in An Lang.
About the location of the tomb of King Tran Hien Tong, there are many different information. The book Dai Viet Su Ky Toan Thu says that King Tran Hien Tong was buried in An Lang Palace Kien Xuong (Thai Binh), and some other books say that he was buried in An Sinh. Through the relics and relics left at Ngai Son mausoleum, archaeologists have proven that Ngai Son mausoleum is a mausoleum of a very large scale and was built in An Sinh right after King Tran Hien Tong. died (1341).
According to the description of Tran Trieu Thanh, the patriarch of the land of the map, the mausoleum has a large scale, the remaining traces include: "The inner floor is two feet long, nine meters (9.57m); 8 meters (2.64m) wide; 1 zhang (3.30 m) high, surrounded by brick walls, each side is 4 zhang 5 m (14.85 m) long and 3 m (1m) thick.
Around the mausoleum, there are still many relics, of which especially a set of stone statues, including statues of mandarins, animals and turtles.

The set of stone statues at Ngai Son mausoleum is not only evaluated as a precious collection of sculpture art from the Tran dynasty, but more importantly, through this set of statues, we know about the axis structure of the Than Dao mausoleum of the Tran dynasty. On both sides there are statues of mandarins and statues of animals standing in adoration.
In addition to animal statues, at Ngai Son mausoleum, there are two stone turtle statues of the Tran Dynasty, including a turtle statue of very large size: 1.57m long; 0.94m wide, 0.34m thick, on the back of the turtle there is a large mortise, showing that this turtle is carrying a beer. In 2002, Mao Khe Coal Company made the merit to rebuild the mausoleum as it is today. However, the restoration of the mausoleum due to the lack of scientific basis did not guarantee the original structure of this mausoleum, and at the same time created a tomb architecture very different from the architecture of the tomb of the Tran dynasty.
