Brief

According to the Razadarit Ayedawbon chronicle, the queen was the middle daughter of Saw Ye-Bein, a senior minister at the Hanthawaddy court. Her personal name was Mwei Auk (မွေ့အောက်). She had an elder sister Mwei Ohn-Naung and a younger sister Mi U-Si[1] In April 1392, she became a senior queen of King Razadarit, with the title of Lawka Dewi (Pali: Lokadevī). Her two sisters were also raised as queens at the same ceremony.[1]

She and her sisters were first cousins once removed of the king. Their father was a first cousin of Razadarit. Their paternal grandfather Binnya Thein was a noble from Chiang Mai who after a disagreement with the king of Chiang Mai had sought refuge at the court of King Binnya U. Their paternal grandmother was Tala Saw Lun, a daughter of King Saw Zein.[2]

Notes
    gollark: It does? I should update.
    gollark: <@237328509234708481> Are you planning to readd that CCTweaks feature allowing turtles to use any tool via a tool manipulator or whatever?
    gollark: Can *your* OS do that?
    gollark: By multiplying two smallish prime numbers (inaccessible to the user except via the debug API, if it was available in potatOS (it's not, fully)) to make a bigger *semi*prime it's possible to make a problem easy to generate but relatively hard to solve.
    gollark: It's actually very fast.
