# Anaukpetlun

Anaukbaklun (Burmese: အနောက်ဘက်လွန်; 21 January 1578 – 9 July 1628) was the sixth king of Taungoo Burma and was largely responsible for restoring the kingdom after it collapsed at the end of 16th century. In his 22-year reign from 1606 to 1628, Anaukpetlun completed the reunification efforts begun by his father, King Nyaungyan. Having inherited a partial kingdom comprising mainly Upper Burma and the Shan States from his father, Anaukpetlun went on to reconquer Lan Na in the east, and in the south, Lower Burma from rival Burmese factions and the Portuguese, as well as the Upper Tenasserim from the Ayutthaya Kingdom. The kingdom was known as the Restored Taungoo Kingdom or Nyaungyan Dynasty.

## Life

Anaukpetlun had chief queen, principal queens and minors queens, more than 50 persons and had children more than 80-100, the names list included in Maha Yazawin and Nyaungyan Mintaya Ayedawbon and U-Kala chronicle.
Officially styled as Maha Dhamma Yaza, Anaukpetlun was a grandson of Bayinnaung. Both of his parents were children of Bayinnaung, half-brother and half-sister. In November 1605, Nyaungyan died after a military campaign to Hsenwi. Anaukpetlun then inherited the Kingdom of Ava that included all north of Bagan along the Irrawaddy River and the cis-Salween Shan States.
Anaukpetlun pursued his campaigns to unify the Burmese kingdom. In 1608, he took Prome (modern Pyay), installing his brother Thalun as the King of Prome.
In 1610 he took Taungoo from Natshinnaung and forced the king to swear loyalty. However, Filipe de Brito e Nicote, the Portuguese ruler of Syriam (modern Thanlyin) marched to Taungoo and captured Natshinnaung.$^{:189–190}$
Anaukpetlun then marched the Ava armies and fleets to capture Syriam and rescued the King of Toungoo but faced Rakhine opportunistic invasions. He was able to counter the Rakhine fleets and took the port of Syriam in 1613, though Nat Shin Naung had already died. Anaukpetlun took the European-Portuguese captives to Ava and Bago, where they were known as Bayingyi and served as gunners for the Burmese armies later.
In 1617, Anaukpetlun decided to make Bago the capital of his dominions and crowned himself as King of Bago that year.
In 1613–1614, Anaukpetlun attacked Dawei, Tenasserim and Chiang Mai but was repelled. In 1618 Siam and Burma reached an agreement in which Burma would control Mottama and Thailand would control Chiang Mai.$^{:197–199}$
In 1624, Anaukpetlun sent his brother Thalun to curb the rebellion of Chiang Saen and Nan.
In 1628, Anaukpetlun was assassinated at his pavilion in Nat Ywa Shin's village, located on the western bank of the Irrawaddy River. He was shot in the neck with an arrow by a fisherman named Shin Than Kho, who was romantically involved with Anaukpetlun's son, Minyedeippa. The assassination was orchestrated by Minyedeippa, who feared potential punishment due to his relationship with နှင့်ခမ်းပေါ Ning (Nang) Hkam Pao, the daughter of Chao Kiang Hkam, the Sawbwa of Kengtung. Notably, Ning Hkam Pao was also one of Anaukpetlun's minor queens.
Following Anaukpetlun's death, Minyedeippa briefly ascended the throne but was ousted by Thalun in August 1630. According to historian Harvey, Minyedeippa was executed by Thalun in November 1630.$^{:217}$ However, the U Kala Chronicle presents a different account, claiming that Minyedeippa received support from numerous princesses of Chiangmai. This support allegedly prevented Thalun from executing him and weakened Thalun's control over Hanthawaddy. As a result, Thalun was compelled to relocate the capital to Ava in 1634, while Minyedeippa reportedly continued to live in Hanthawaddy.
