Yazathingyan Royalty

Yazathingyan (Burmese: ရာဇသင်္ကြန်, pronounced: [jàza̰ θɪ́ɴdʑàɴ]; also spelled Yazathinkyan; c. 1263–?) was a co-founder of Myinsaing Kingdom in today's central Burma (Myanmar). A former commander in Pagan Empire's military, Yazathingyan was the middle brother of the Three Shan Brothers that founded Myinsaing Kingdom, which filled the void in central Burma following the collapse of Pagan's authority in 1287. The three brothers toppled the last Pagan king on 17 December 1297 and ruled as co-regents from their respective capitals in Kyaukse district, Yazathingyan from Mekkara. According to the chronicles Yazathingyan died five years later but the inscriptional evidence shows that he was still alive in 1310.
