Notes

  1. ^ Per (Hmannan Vol. 3 2003: 81), Min Phyu had two elder brothers. Since her eldest brother Minye Thihathu II of Toungoo was born in August 1550, she could have been born in 1552 at the earliest.
  2. ^ The three main chronicles do not agree on her date of death; only Hmannan's date matches with its Western calendar translation. (Maha Yazawin Vol. 3 2006: 96) says she died on Sunday, 9th waxing of Kason 958 ME, which translates to Saturday, 4 May 1596. (Yazawin Thit Vol. 2 2012: 230) corrects Maha Yazawin, saying she died on Saturday, 9th waxing of Kason 957 ME, which translates to Sunday, 16 April 1595. (Hmannan Vol. 3 2003: 98) corrects both prior chronicles with Saturday, 9th waxing of Kason 958 ME, which results in Saturday, 4 May 1596.
