Dala Thuddhamaya Mwei Thin (Burmese: ဒလ သုဒ္ဓမာယာ မွေ့သင်, pronounced [dəla̰ θouʔda̰ màjà mwḛ θɪ̀ɴ]; also spelled Tala Thuddhamaya (တလ သုဒ္ဓမာယာ)) was a junior queen consort of King Razadarit of Hanthawaddy. She was also the mother of King Binnya Ran I and Queen Regnant Shin Sawbu.
Brief
According to the
Lagun Ein episode
The queen reportedly was a dashing beauty. The chronicle Razadarit Ayedawbon reports that she was the reason why Commander
The two ministers reluctantly reported the situation to the king. Razadarit ultimately decided that he needed Lagun Ein, and ordered Thuddhamaya to be sent over in a golden royal litter.[6] A weeping Thuddhamaya begged the king to reconsider but he would not. By the time the litter arrived at Lagun Ein's quarters, the commander had sufficiently recovered his senses, and refused to take the queen.[7] He went on to lead the dangerous naval mission that required his flotilla to lure numerically superior Bassein war boats back to where Razadarit's forces had set up a trap. The mission was successful.[8][9]
Notes
- ^ The chronicle Razadarit Ayedawbon (Pan Hla 2005: 158) says she became queen on Tuesday, 1st waxing of Tabodwe 745 ME, which translates to Thursday, 24 December 1383. But 1st waxing is a typographical error. The editor and historian Pan Hla (Pan Hla 2005: 358, footnote 1) of the chronicle states that Razadarit became king on Monday, 12th waxing of Tabodwe 745 ME (Monday, 4 Jan 1384). It means she became queen on Tuesday, 13th waxing of Tabodwe 745 ME (5 Jan 1384).
