Min Maha (Burmese: မင်းမဟာ, [mɪ́ɴ məhà]) was governor of Prome (Pyay) from 1421/22 to 1429. He was a commander of the elephant corps in the Royal Ava Army before appointed to succeed his father-in-law Gov. Minye Kyawswa II of Prome.[note 1] In 1429, he was reappointed to be governor of Sagu by King Mohnyin Thado.[2]
Notes
- ^ Chronicles are inconsistent with their own reporting. (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 54) says King Thihathu of Ava replaced Gov. Minye Kyawswa II of Prome with Min Maha in late 783 ME. But the Summary of the Rulers of Prome section (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 215) says Min Maha was appointed in 787 ME. It is another case of Burmese numerals ၃ (3) and ၇ (7) being mis-copied.
