Anaukpetlun

Anaukbaklun (Burmese: အနောက်ဘက်လွန် [ʔənaʊʔ pʰɛʔ lʊ̀ɰ̃]; 21 January 1578 – 9 July 1628) was the sixth king of Taungoo Burma and was largely responsible for restoring the kingdom after it collapsed at the end of 16th century.

Anaukpetlun then inherited the Kingdom of Ava that included all north of Bagan along the Irrawaddy River and the cis-Salween Shan States.

However, Filipe de Brito e Nicote, the Portuguese ruler of Syriam (modern Thanlyin) marched to Taungoo and captured Natshinnaung.

[5]: 189–190 Anaukpetlun then marched the Ava armies and fleets to capture Syriam and rescued the King of Toungoo but faced Rakhine opportunistic invasions.

In 1628, Anaukpetlun was assassinated at his pavilion in Nat Ywa Shin's village, located on the western bank of the Irrawaddy River.

He was shot in the neck with an arrow by a fisherman named Shin Than Kho, who was romantically involved with Anaukpetlun's son, Minyedeippa.
