Mohnyin Thado ((ビルマ語:မိုးညှင်းသတိုး), ; Mohnyin Mintaya; 1379 – 1439) was king of Ava from 1426 to 1439. The ethnic Burman ''saopha'' (chief) of Mohnyin came to power after overthrowing King Kale Kyetaungnyo and his queen Shin Bo-Me in 1426. His reign marks the plateauing of Ava's power. Left exhausted by the Forty Years' War with Hanthawaddy Pegu (Bago) in the south, and long-running wars against various Shan States in the north, Ava was no longer in a position to expand. Mohnyin Thado spent his 12-year reign keeping restive regions of Ava in one piece. In particular, he had trouble controlling Toungoo which successfully revolted in 1437. He had to tolerate the governors of other regions who treated him as at best a senior. Hanthwaddy aided Toungoo's rebellions in 1427 and in 1437. But the two kingdoms did not resume a full-scale war. In 1438, Mohnyin Thado renumbered the Burmese calendar by subtracting two years on the advice of a court astrologer. The change did not stick as he died a year later. King Alaungpaya of Konbaung Dynasty claimed descent from Mohnyin Thado. ==Ancestry and early life== Mohnyin Thado was born Myo Hla (also known as Min Nansi) to a minor nobility family that attended King Swasawke's court. He was born in Nyaungyan (near Meiktila).〔 He was a 7th generation descendant of kings Naratheinkha and Sithu I of Pagan, and a great grandson of Kyawswa I of Pinya.〔Sein Myint, Aung Thein Han 1967: 50〕 He was also a descendant of Chief Minister Yazathingyan of Pagan through his great-great grandmother Khin Hpone, who was a daughter of Gen. Yanda Pyissi, the younger son of Yazathingyan.〔Letwe Nawrahta 1961: 12〕 As a youngster, Nansi was given a small region east of Shwebo in fief by King Swasawke. The king also made him an attendant of his sons Minkhaung and Theiddat, who were sent to their respective fiefs away from Ava. The princes lived as wandering minstrels and nat dancers, one of the older attendants playing a drum, another the horn, and so on. They strayed down to Taungdwingyi, and then crossing over to Minbu District and lived at Ngape and Padein.〔Harvey 1925: 95–100〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mohnyin Thado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
