Binnya Kyan

Binnya Kyan (Burmese: ဗညားကျန်း, pronounced [bəɲá dʑáɰ̃]; c. 1420–1453) was the 13th king of the Hanthawaddy Pegu Kingdom in Burma from 1451 to 1453.

[1] The king himself was murdered in 1453 by his first cousin Leik Munhtaw who seized the throne.

Despite his raising of the height of the Shwedagon, the king murdered so many of his rivals that by the time he himself was murdered, his killer, first cousin Leik Munhtaw was the last living male descendant of King Razadarit.

Various Burmese chronicles do not agree on the key dates of the king's life.
