Thohanbwa
Thohanbwa ( my, သိုဟန်ဘွား, ; Shan language, Shan: သိူဝ်ႁၢၼ်ၾႃ့; 1505 – May 1542) was king of Ava Kingdom, Ava from 1527 to 1542. The eldest son of Sawlon of Mohnyin was a commander who actively participated in Monhyin's numerous raids of Ava's territories in the first quarter of 16th century. In March 1527, the ethnically Shan people, Shan king was appointed king of Ava by Sawlon after Mohnyin-led confederation of Shan States defeated Ava in 1527. After Sawlon was assassinated in 1533, Thohanbwa became the undisputed king of Ava as well as chief of Mohnyin. However, he was not immediately accepted by other chiefs as the leader of the confederation. He is remembered in Burmese history as a "full-blooded savage" who killed learned monks, looted treasures from Theravada Buddhism, Buddhist stupa, pagodas and burned books. He was hated by his Bamar, Burman and Shan subjects alike. Yet it was his inaction and inability to mobilize the vario ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Minkhaung II
Minkhaung II ( my, ဒုတိယ မင်းခေါင် ; 9 October 1446 – 7 April 1501) was king of Ava from 1480 to 1501. His 20-year reign was the beginning of the decline of Ava's hold on Upper Burma. Yamethin, a region to the east of Ava, revolted upon Minkhaung's accession to the Ava throne and stayed independent throughout Minkhaung's reign. The southern regions of Prome and Tharrawaddy revolted in 1482, and also stayed independent. By the mid-1490s, the Shan states of Mohnyin, Mogaung, Momeik and Kale (Kalay) had also broken away, and begun raiding northern Ava territories.Phayre 1967: 86–87 Minkhaung increasingly came to rely on Mingyi Nyo, the Viceroy of Toungoo, for military assistance. By the end of his reign, Toungoo was equally powerful as its nominal overlord Ava.Fernquest 2005 Minkhaung II made his eldest son Thihathura II joint-king and co-ruled the kingdom for 15 years.

Sawlon
Sawlon of Mohnyin ( my, မိုးညှင်းစလုံ ; 1486–1533) was saopha of the Shan state of Mohnyin in the early the 16th century. He is best remembered in History of Burma, Burmese history as the conqueror of Ava Kingdom. Sawlon led a confederation of Shan states, and raided Avan territory throughout the first quarter of the 16th century. (The earliest reported date in the Burmese chronicles of a raid led by Sawlon of Mohnyin came in 1502.Maha Yazawin Vol. 2 2006: 103 It is unclear if the Sawlon in 1502 was this Sawlon who would have been only 16 years old, then. The Sawlon in 1502 may have been Sawlon's father.) By the 1520s, his confederation included Shan states of Kalay, Kale (Kalay), Momeik, Bhamo as well as the Burman Kingdom of Prome (Pyay).Fernquest 2005: 348–349 The allies accelerated their concerted attacks on Ava from all directions, and sacked Inwa, Ava in 1524.

Thihathura II of Ava ( my, ဒုတိယ သီဟသူရ (အင်းဝ); February 1474 – 4 March 1501) was the joint-king of Ava who co-reigned with his father Minkhaung II for 15 years. When he was just six, his father ascended to the Ava throne and he was made heir-apparent. In 1485, the 11-year-old was made a co-regent.(Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 115): He was in his 12th year, meaning 11 years old in Western counting. He lived in the same palace with his father, and displayed a white umbrella as a symbol of sovereignty. He co-ruled with his father for 15 years but died a month earlier than his father.Phayre 1967: 86–87 Minkhaung, who faced numerous rebellions throughout his reign, made his son joint-king because he wanted to retain loyalty of his son.

Inwa
Inwa (, or ; also spelled Innwa; formerly known as Ava), located in Mandalay Region, Myanmar, is an ancient imperial capital of successive Burmese kingdoms from the 14th to 19th centuries. Throughout history, it was sacked and rebuilt numerous times. The capital city was finally abandoned after it was destroyed by a series of major earthquakes in March 1839. Though only a few traces of its former grandeur remain today, the former capital is a popular day-trip tourist destination from Mandalay. Etymology The name Inwa (အင်းဝ) literally means "mouth of the Lake", reflecting its geographical location at the mouth of lakes in the Kyaukse District. Another theory states that it is derived from ''Innawa'' (), meaning "nine lakes" in the area.Khin Khin Aye 2007: 60 The city's classical name in Pali is ''Ratanapura'' (ရတနပုရ; "City of Gems"). The modern standard Burmese pronunciation is ''Inwa'' (), following the modern orthography. But the local Upper Burmese ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Prome Kingdom
The Prome Kingdom ( my, ဒုတိယ သရေခေတ္တရာ နေပြည်တော်) was a kingdom that existed for six decades between 1482 and 1542 in present-day central Burma (Myanmar). Based out of the city of Prome (Pyay), the minor kingdom was one of the several statelets that broke away from the dominant Ava Kingdom in the late 15th century. Throughout the 1520s, Prome was an ally of the Confederation of Shan States, and together they raided Avan territory. After Ava fell to the Confederation armies in 1527, Prome itself became a tributary of the Confederation in 1532. In the late 1530s, Prome became ensnarled in the Toungoo–Hanthawaddy War (1534–1541). Despite military assistance from the Confederation and the Mrauk U Kingdom, the small kingdom fell to the Toungoo (Taungoo) forces in 1542.Harvey 1925: 157–158 History Origins For much of the first half of the second millennium, Prome was a vassal state of Upper Burma-based kingdoms–Pagan, Pi ...

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.

Atula Thiri Dhamma Dewi Of Ava
Atula Thiri Dhamma Dewi ( my, အတုလသီရိ ဓမ္မဒေဝီ, ) was the chief queen consort of King Minkhaung II of Ava. She was a granddaughter of King Mohnyin Thado, as well as a direct descendant of King Swa Saw Ke of Ava from her mother's side.(Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 82): Her maternal great grandfather Thinkhaya of Pagan was a half-uncle of King Minkhaung I. She was wedded to her cousin Prince Nawrahta (later King Minkhaung II) in 1466/67 by their grandfather King Narapati I of Ava. The couple had been engaged since they were both nine years old (in their 10th year).Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 294 Ancestry The following is her ancestry as reported in the ''Hmannan Yazawin'' chronicle.See (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 61, 73, 82–83, 111).

The ''saopha'' of the Shan state of Onbaung–Hsipaw was elected by the Ava court to the Ava throne in 1542, by extension the leader of the Confederation of Shan States, despite strenuous objections by the House of Mohnyin. He was accepted as the leader by other Confederation leaders only because the Confederation was in the middle of a serious war with Toungoo Dynasty. After the Confederation's failed military campaigns in 1543–45 that resulted in the loss of Central Burma, Hkonmaing lost the support of Sawlon II of Mohnyin. He died in 1545 while fighting a Mohnyin-backed rebellion by Sithu Kyawhtin. Background Born in 1497, the future king was the eldest son of Hkonmaing I, the longtime ruler of Onbaung–Hsipaw.
