Burmese history

The chronicle was written in two parts by
Dipavamsa. The first part focuses on the kings of ancient India and Ceylon, according to Buddhist mythology and history.[1][2] In 1520, the author added a supplement about the Burmese kings down to 1496. In all, only one-seventh of the treatise concerns the affairs of Burmese kings as it was not intended to be an authoritative chronicle. The author stated there was already an existing chronicle of the Ava court.[3]
