Binnya Dhammaraza
Binnya Dhammaraza ( mnw, ဗညာ ဓမ္မရာဇာ, my, ဗညား ဓမ္မရာဇာ, ; also spelled Banya Dhamma Yaza;Aung-Thwin 2017: 261 1393–1424) was king of Hanthawaddy Pegu from 1421 to 1424. His short reign was marked by rebellions by his half-brothers Binnya Ran and Binnya Kyan; renewed invasions by the Ava Kingdom; and various court intrigues. He never had any real control beyond the capital Pegu (Bago), and was poisoned by one of his queens in 1424. He was succeeded by Binnya Ran. Early life Born early 1393,The ''Slapat Rajawan'' (Schmidt 1906: 20–21, 118–119) says Binnya Dhammaraza came to power in his 29th year (at age 28) in 783 ME (30 March 1421 to 29 March 1422), meaning he was born in 1392 or 1393. Since King Razadarit died early Tabodwe 783 ME (December 1383), in order for Dhammaraza to be still aged 28 at his accession, he must have been born in or after Tabodwe 754 ME (13 January 1393 to 10 February 1393).

List Of Burmese Monarchs
This is a list of the monarchs of Burma (Myanmar), covering the monarchs of all the major kingdoms that existed in the present day Burma (Myanmar). Although Burmese chronicles, Burmese chronicle tradition maintains that various monarchies of Burma (Mon people, Mon, Bamar people, Burman, Rakhine people, Arakanese), began in the 9th century Common Era, BCE, historically verified data date back only to 1044 CE at the accession of Anawrahta of Pagan dynasty, Pagan. The farther away the data are from 1044, the less verifiable they are. For example, the founding of the city of Pagan (Bagan) in the 9th century is verifiable–although the accuracy of the actual date, given in the Chronicles as 849, remains in question–but the founding of early Pagan dynasty, given as the 2nd century, is not.Harvey 1925: 364 For early kingdoms, see List of early and legendary monarchs of Burma.

Baw Law Kyan Daw ( my, ဘောလောကျန်းထော, ; 1383 – 1390) was the first child of King Razadarit of Hanthawaddy Kingdom, Hanthawaddy Pegu. The prince is best known for his famous oath before his execution on the orders of his father that he shall be reborn to fight against his father if he were innocent.
