Minye Kyawhtin of Pakhan

His nephew, also styled Minye Kyawhtin, would carry on the founding house's resistance against Thado and his successors until 1459.

Minye Kyawhtin, also known by his personal name Min Tha Nyo (မင်းသားညို), was the youngest child of Queen Shin Mi-Nauk and King Minkhaung I of Ava (r.

[b] Unlike his older brothers, he did not play a prominent role in the long running war between Ava and Hanthawaddy Pegu (1385–1423).

The assassinations were arranged by Queen Shin Bo-Me and Prince Min Nyo of Kale, who went on to seize the throne.

Not only did Nyo have a strong claim to the throne as the only son of King Tarabya of Ava (r. 1400) but he was also one of the two leading commanders of the military.

He personally led his regiment, which guarded the westerly approach towards the capital,[5][6] but by early May when the tide of war had turned against Ava, Tarabya and other key vassal rulers, renounced their ties to Nyo, and retreated to their respective regions.

Considering himself the rightful heir to the Ava throne, Tarabya flatly rejected Thado's call for submission,[10] but he could not get other vassals, even those surrounding Pakhan, to support him.

[8][11] Thado, who began his career as a page for Prince Min Swe (King Minkhaung),[12] had a soft side for the only living son and grandson of his deceased lord.

Instead of executing the royals with the strongest claim to the throne, the king sent Tarabya to live in an estate near the Shwezigon Pagoda in Pagan (Bagan), and Minye Kyawhtin the younger to Thissein (modern Shwebo District).
