Thihapate of Tagaung (Burmese: သီဟပတေ့, [θìha̰pətḛ]; also known as Nga Nauk Hsan (ငနောက်ဆံ, [ŋə naʊ̯ʔ sʰàɴ]); d. November 1400) was governor of Tagaung from 1367 to 1400.
[1] The powerful governor of the northernmost vassal state of Ava was a brother-in-law of King Swa Saw Ke,[note 1] and had even served as a tutor to Crown Prince Tarabya.
[4] Thihapate came to Ava (Inwa) in 1400 to serve as an advisor to his one-time pupil Tarabya, who had become king.
With Tarabya becoming mentally unstable, Thihapate assassinated the young king in November 1400,[5] and tried to seize the throne.
But the Ava court did not accept him, promptly executed him.
