Swa Saw Ke
Mingyi Swa Saw Ke (, ; also spelled Minkyiswasawke or Swasawke; 1330–1400) was king of Ava from 1367 to 1400. He reestablished central authority in Upper Myanmar (Burma) for the first time since the fall of the Pagan Empire in the 1280s. He essentially founded the Ava Kingdom that would dominate Upper Burma for the next two centuries. When he was elected by the ministers to succeed King Thado Minbya, Swa took over a small kingdom barely three years old, and one that still faced several external and internal threats. In the north, he successfully fought off the Maw raids into Upper Burma, a longstanding problem since the waning days of Sagaing and Pinya kingdoms. He maintained friendly relations with Lan Na in the east, and the Launggyet Kingdom in the west, placing his nominees on the Arakense throne between 1373 and 1385. In the south, he brought semi-independent kingdoms of Toungoo (Taungoo) and Prome (Pyay) firmly into Ava's orbit. But his attempts to extend control f ...

She is regarded as the mother of King Tarabya of Ava, Tarabya, the successor of Swa, by the standard Burmese chronicles despite inscriptional evidence to the contrary. Brief The chronicles provide little detail about her background. Given that her brother Thilawa of Yamethin, Thilawa was married to Saw Pale of Yamethin, Saw Pale, a granddaughter of King Kyawswa of Pagan,Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 401 and that she herself was married to Swa Saw Ke, brother of Saw Pale, she was certainly of royal descent. She had at least one other brother, Maha Pyauk of Yamethin, Maha Pyauk.Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 434 Furthermore, she most probably married Swa some time between 1343 and 1351 during his stint as governor of Yamethin in the Pinya Kingdom before his defection to Sagaing 1351.Swa returned from Launggyet Kingdom, Arakan 1343 and defected to Sagaing after ...

Tuyin Of Inyi
Tuyin of Inyi (, ) was one of the top four generals in the service of King Swa Saw Ke of Ava.MSK Vol. 13 1973: 134–135Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 435 Although the royal chronicles list him as Number 3 of the top senior generals, they mention him in only one war, Mohnyin–Ava War (1392–93). The career cavalry corps officer apparently was a non-royal, and was conspicuously absent in the chronicles' commander lists for the Forty Years' War, which he must have participated in. He commanded the elephant corps in the first part of the Mohnyin war, and he was roundly defeated near Myedu. He later switched back to his natural cavalry corps, and under the overall command of Thilawa of Yamethin the Ava army decisively defeated the Mohnyin army outside Sagaing in 1393.Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 432–433 References Bibliography * * {{cite book , author=Royal Historical Commission of Burma , author-link=Royal Historical Commission of Burma , title=Hmannan Yazawin , volume=1–3 , orig-year=18 ...
