do not accept him as king.Htin Aung 1970: 43Than Tun 1964: 131–132Aung-Thwin and Aung-Thwin 2012: 99 One contemporary stone inscription identifies him as the crown prince, and another identifies him as the king. Neither inscription provides any regnal dates but they were conjecturally dated c. 1230 or c. 1231 by Luce. Luce and Than Tun accept that he was king. It is not universally accepted. Htin Aung does not accept Luce's proposed regnal dates; he argues that the fact that none of the chronicles identifies him as king shows that "his succession was disputed or officially unrecognized." According to Htin Aung, he may have been a pretender to the throne for a few months. Aung-Thwin does not identify Naratheinga as king either.See (Aung-Thwin and Aung-Thwin 2012: 99) and (Aung-Thwin 1985: 22).
