Tho Kyaung Bwa


Tho Kyaung Bwa (Burmese: သိုကြောင်ဘွား, Burmese pronunciation: [ðò dʑàʊɴ bwá]) was sawbwa (ruler) of Onbaung from c. 1400s to c. 1420s. He became a vassal of Ava in 1404/05. In a marriage of state, he married a niece of King Minkhaung I of Ava.[1] In 1412/13, he reported to the Ava court that his Shan-speaking state had come under attack from the neighboring Shan state of Hsenwi (Theinni), backed by Ming China.[2] Minkhaung sent his son Crown Prince Minye Kyawswa to drive out the Hsenwi and Chinese forces.[3][4]
