About Saw Zein

  • Saw Zein (Burmese: ???????, Burmese pronunciation: [s?ยด zei?]; also known as Saw Zeik and Binnya Ran De; 1303โ€“1330) was king of Martaban from 1323 to 1330.
  • He inherited a newly independent kingdom from his elder brother Saw O but spent much of his reign putting down rebellions.
  • Although he regained the Mon-speaking provinces of Lower Burma, he could not recover the Tenasserim coast from Martaban's former overlord Sukhothai. Zein was assassinated in 1330 in a coup organized by Zein Pun, one of his senior commanders.
  • Zein Pun seized the throne only to be killed a week later.
