Thinkhaya (Burmese: သင်္ခယာ, pronounced [θɪ̀ɴkʰəjà]; also known as Uzana) was governor of Pagan (Bagan), a vassal state of Ava. According to the royal chronicles, he was governor of Pagan from at least since 1390 and at least until 1410 when he fought in the Forty Years' War against the southern Hanthawaddy Kingdom.[note 1]

He was the father of Gov. Saw Shwe Khet of Prome, Queen Soe Min Wimala Dewi of Hanthawaddy, Queen Atula Thiri Maha Yaza Dewi of Ava, Cmdr. Uzana of the Southern Cavalry, and Gov. Thinkhaya of Sagu.[1] He was also the maternal grandfather of King Leik Munhtaw of Hanthawaddy[2] and King Thihathura of Ava.[3]

Thinkhaya was succeeded by Tarabya as governor of Pagan in 1413.[4] It is unclear if he had died or replaced.

Notes

  1. While chronicles' first explicit mention of him as Uzana of Pagan (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 429) was only in 1390 when he commanded a squadron of the naval invasion force in the 1390–91 campaign, he may have been participating since the beginning of the war in 1385 as the chronicles list a governor of Pagan in the orders of battle of the earlier campaigns. His last mention in the war was in the 1409–10 campaign when he commanded a regiment in 1st Army, per (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 476–477).
