Notes

  1. [N 1]
    Hmannan (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 82) says Thinkhaya of Pagan was the youngest paternal uncle of King Minkhaung I. But Thinkhaya could not have been a full paternal uncle since Minkhaung's father Swa Saw Ke did not have any full younger brothers. It means Thinkhaya was born to a junior wife of Min Shin Saw of Thayet. Moreover (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 74) says she was also a niece of Minkhaung I.
