ramesuan -lrb- king of ayutthaya -rrb-

somdet phra ramesuan -lrb- -rrb- -lrb- 1339 -- 1395 -rrb- , son of king ramathibodi i , reigned as the second and fifth king of the kingdom of ayutthaya .
when king ramathibodi ascended to the throne of ayuthaya , he sent king ramesuan to reign in lavo .
upon king ramathibodi 's death in 1369 , king ramesuan traveled to ayutthaya to assume the throne , but held it for less than a year before being deposed by his uncle , king borommaracha i , the ruler of suphanburi .
sources differ over the nature of their conflict ; official chronicles state that the older boromaracha ruled with the willing consent of his nephew , while jeremias van vliet 's `` short history of thailand '' indicated that boromaracha 's ascension came only after a bloody conflict bordering on civil war .
whatever the case , by 1388 king ramesuan had gathered sufficient support from his power base in lavo to return to ayutthaya and challenge boromarachi 's son thong lan for the throne .
king ramesuan 's forces quickly took the palace and executed the 17-year-old thong chan .
king ramesuan then held the throne until 1395 , when he was succeeded by his son rama -lrb- also known as ramaracha -rrb- .
during king ramesuan 's second reign , the king seems to have come to an understanding with the kingdom of sukhothai , against whom boromarachi had warred throughout his reign .
instead , some sources record conflicts with the kingdom of lan na -lrb- in northern thailand -rrb- , and the empire of angkor .
ayutthaya chronicles indicate that king ramesuan took chiang mai , then the capital of the kingdom of lan na , in 1390 and settled many captives within the kingdom of ayutthaya .
a similar defeat of angkor is recorded as having taken place in 1393 , in response to raids from the cambodian kingdom .
he placed his son on the throne but he was soon assassinated .
neither of these battles are attested to by chronicles from lan na or angkor .
