Kyaw was appointed governor of Dala in 1388/89 by his half-uncle King Razadarit, who had ordered Kyaw's father Nyi Kan-Kaung executed for suspicion of rebellion.[1] Despite this, Kyaw was a loyal vassal to his uncle. He became a commander in the army, and fought in the war against the northern Ava Kingdom. He died in action outside Prome (Pyay) on 26 December 1402.[note 1][2]

Notes

  1. (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 220): Tuesday, the 3rd waxing of Tabodwe 764 ME = 26 December 1402
gollark: *should'ded
gollark: I think `require` is basically `dofile` with odd path handling.
gollark: What you could do is just, you know, `loadfile`.
gollark: The solution is to just use potatOS.
gollark: I wonder if with some meddling (dump source of all Lua-side `_G` functions and re`load` them) it could work.
