Bayin Htwe

Bayin Htwe (Burmese: ဘုရင်ထွေး, pronounced [bəjɪ̀ɰ̃ tʰwé]; c. 1470s–1533) Tai name Hso Yam Hpa (သိူဝ်ယႅမ်ႉၾႃႉ) was king of Prome (Pyay) from 1527 to 1532.

His small kingdom, founded by his father Thado Minsaw in 1482, was conquered by the Confederation of Shan States in 1532, and he was taken prisoner to Upper Burma.

Bayin Htwe was a son of Thado Minsaw who proclaimed independence of his minor kingdom from Ava in 1482.

In 1532, Lon and his Confederation armies (12,000 troops, 800 horses and 30 elephants) laid siege to Prome.

[2] Htwe's life in captivity was cut short after Lon was assassinated by his own ministers near Myedu, enabling his return to Prome.
