About Mohnyin Thado
- Mohnyin Thado (Burmese: ??????????????, pronounced [mó???´? ð?dó]; Mohnyin Mintaya; 1379 – 1439) was king of Ava from 1426 to 1439.
- The ethnic Burman saopha (chief) of Mohnyin came to power after overthrowing King Kale Kye-Taung Nyo and his queen Shin Bo-Me in 1426.
- His reign marks the plateauing of Ava's power.
- Left exhausted by the Forty Years' War with Hanthawaddy Pegu (Bago) in the south, and long-running wars against various Shan States in the north, Ava was no longer in a position to expand.
- Mohnyin Thado spent his 12-year reign keeping restive regions of Ava in one piece.
- He never controlled Toungoo.
- He had to tolerate the governors of other regions who treated him as at best a senior.
- Hanthwaddy aided the Toungoo rebellion in 1426 and seized the region in 1436.
- But the two kingdoms did not resume a full-scale war. In 1438, Mohnyin Thado renumbered the Burmese calendar by subtracting two years on the advice of a court astrologer.
- The change did not stick as he died a year later. King Alaungpaya of Konbaung Dynasty claimed descent from Mohnyin Thado.
