Taw Phaya

Prince Edward Taw Phaya (Burmese: တော်ဘုရား; also known as Tun Aung, 22 March 1924 – 12 January 2019) was the Pretender to the Throne of Burma (abolished in 1885).

Taw Phaya family was not involved in politics, but supported the military caretaker government's anti-communist mission in 1959.

The military officials focused on the Taw Phaya family to be used in the operation and invited them to come to Shwebo, which was the beginning of the Konbaung dynasty.

After seeing local women spreading their hair to welcome the Taw Phaya family, the Tatmadaw thought it could compete with them for power.
