Pindale Min

Pindale Min (Burmese: ပင်းတလဲမင်း, pronounced [pɪ́ɰ̃dəlɛ́ mɪ́ɰ̃]; 23 March 1608 – 3 June 1661) was king of the Toungoo dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1648 to 1661.

The Yongli Emperor of Southern Ming established himself at Kunming in Yunnan and extracted tribute from Chiang Hung.

The Burmese armies under his brother Pye the King of Prome were sent north to claim Chiang Hung but failed.

The Qing invasions had burnt the Burmese farms in Ava and resulted in famine and Pindale lost his popularity.

His brother Pye then staged a coup and took the throne, drowning Pindale, his chief queen, son and grandson in a river.
