Nawrahta Minsaw
This article is about the ruler of Lan Na. For the founder of Pagan Empire, see Anawrahta. For other uses of Nawrahta, see Anawrahta (disambiguation).
King of Lan Na
Nawrahta Minsaw (Burmese: နော်ရထာ မင်းစော, pronounced[nɔ̀jətʰàmɪ́ɴsɔ́]; formally, Anawrahta Minsaw; also known as Nawrahta Saw and Tharrawaddy Min; 1551/52–1607/08) was king of Lan Na from 1579 to 1607/08, and the first Burmese-born vassal king of Lan Na.[3] He was also an accomplished poet.[4]
Appointed to the Lan Na throne by his father King Bayinnaung of Burma, Nawrahta dutifully contributed to his half-brother King Nanda's debilitating war effort against Siam (1584–95). He declared independence in 1597 after having defeated a 1595–96 invasion by Lan Xang on his own.[5] From 1599 onward, he was forced to deal with a Lan Xang backed rebellion in Nan, and a Siam-backed rebellion in Chiang Rai and Chiang Saen. He defeated the Chiang Rai rebellion in 1601–02 but was eventually forced to submit to Siam soon after. He defeated an invasion by Lan Xang in 1602–03, regaining Nan in the process. He ruled all of Lan Na, as a Siamese vassal, until his death.[6]
