Thiri Maya Dewi Mwei Daw (Burmese: သီရိမာယာဒေဝီ မွေ့ဒေါ, pronounced [θìɹḭ màjà dèwì mwḛ dɔ́]; c. 1330s – 28 January 1368) was a principal queen of King Binnya U of Martaban–Hanthawaddy, and the mother of King Razadarit.

Brief

[edit]

Mwei Daw was the youngest daughter of Than-Bon, a senior minister at the court of King Binnya U. Than-Bon was a son of Senior Minister Bo Htu-Hpyet who served at the court of King Wareru. In 1348/49, soon after the accession of Binnya U, she was married to Gov. Min Linka of Pegu, younger half-brother of Binnya U. Her three elder sisters Mwei It, Mwei Kaw and Mwei Zeik became principal queens of Binnya U.[1] She and Linka had two daughters—Thazin Saw Dala and Thazin Saw U—and a son, Nyi Kan-Kaung.[2]

C. 1353,[note 1] her husband revolted against Binnya U. But the rebellion failed. Min Linka was arrested, and executed. Binnya U raised his sister-in-law to queen with the title of Thiri Maya Dewi.[2] In 1368, they had a son named A-Pa-Thon, though he died soon after the birth in Donwun.[3] The son later became King Razadarit.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ (Pan Hla 2005: 47–48): Min Linka's rebellion took place sometime after the invasion by Chiang Mai in 713 ME (1351/52) and before the death of the prized white elephant in 716 ME (1354/55).

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
