History

Monghsu became independent from Hsenwi in 1857 under a personal union with the neighbouring state of Mongsang. It was a tributary of Burma until 1887, when the Shan states submitted to British rule after the fall of the Konbaung dynasty. The residence of the Myoza was at Mong Hsu.[2]

Rulers

The rulers of Monghsu/Möngsang bore the title of Myoza, "duke" or chief of town.[3]
