Launggyet Dynasty

Launggyet Dynasty (1251–1406) was a prominent Arakanese kingdom located in present-day northern Rakhine State of western Myanmar.

[4][3] The capital, Launggyet, was strategically situated in the Kaladan River valley, providing fertile lands and access to maritime trade routes.

During the late 13th century, the Mongol invasions weakened the neighboring Pagan Kingdom, allowing Launggyet to strengthen its position.

In 1429, King Min Saw Mon, with the backing of the Bengal Sultanate, reclaimed the throne and decided to move the capital to Mrauk U.

After the campaign, Min Hti founded the town of Ann in 1334/1335 as a stopover point on the route through the Arakan Mountains to Minbu.
