According to historical records, the Mac Dynasty was founded by the founder Mac Dang Dung (1483-1541). He was from Co Trai village, Nghi Duong district, Kinh Mon prefecture, Hai Duong town (now Co Trai village, Ngu Doan commune, Kien Thuy district, Hai Phong city).
The Mac Dynasty existed from 1527 to 1592, with 5 kings. During its 65-year reign, the Mac Dynasty introduced many economic reform and development policies, making people's lives prosperous and society stable. Under the Mac Dynasty, many talented people emerged, the most typical of which were Doctor Nguyen Thi Due and Trang Trinh Nguyen Binh Khiem.
Although it was a short-lived dynasty, it cannot be denied that the Mac dynasty left good marks on the country's history in the first half of the 16th century.
The ancient capital of Duong Kinh with many relics, heritages, national treasures, and cultural works still exists today.

The cluster of 5 relics related to the Mac Dynasty in Duong Kinh is a synthesis of many cultural, historical and artistic elements.
