Naratheinkha ((ビルマ語:နရသိင်္ခ), ; 1141–1174) was king of Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1171 to 1174. He appointed his brother Narapati Sithu heir apparent and commander-in-chief. It was the first recorded instance in the history of the dynasty that the king had given up the command of the army. The king was assassinated by Aungzwa, one of Sithu's servants, after the king had raised one of Sithu's wives to queen.〔Htin Aung 1967: 50–51〕〔Harvey 1925: 53–54〕 According to G.H. Luce, there is no inscriptional evidence that Naratheinkha or any kings between 1165 and 1174 ever existed.〔Than Tun 1964: 128〕〔Coedès 1968: 167〕 Other historians such as Htin Aung do not agree with Luce's "conjecture".〔Htin Aung 1970: 42–43〕 ==Early life== Naratheinkha was the eldest son of Narathu and Queen Myauk Pyinthe.〔Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 124, footnote 3〕 Chronicles do not agree on his date of birth.〔''Zatadawbon Yazawin's'' horoscope section (Zata 1960: 66) says he was born on Wednesday, 17th day of 6th month of 503 ME (Wednesday, 18 August 1141). But ''Yazawin Thit'' corrects the year to 496 ME. Also note that ''Hmannan Yazawin's'', dating for this king is inconsistent with its own narrative. ''Hmannan'' like all other chronicles agrees that Naratheinkha was older than Sithu II who was born in 1138. However, it had Naratheinkha's birth year as 1140. The reason for the contradiction is that ''Hmannan'' for some reason suddenly switches to ''Maha Yazawin's'' dates for this king (34 years of age, 3 years of reign), while having followed ''Yazawin Thit's'' dating for nearly all of the prior Pagan kings.〕 The table below lists the dates given by the four main chronicles.〔Maha Yazawin Vol. 1 2006: 348〕 Scholarship provisionally accepts the birth date as given in ''Zata's'' horoscopes section.〔 Naratheinkha grew up at the court of King Sithu I. He was not even in the line of succession as the heir apparent was his uncle Min Shin Saw. When he reached manhood, he married his second cousin Min Aung Myat, who like him was a grandchild of King Sithu I in marriage ceremony presided by the king himself.〔Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 311–312〕 In 1167, Naratheinkha suddenly became the heir apparent to the throne after his father assassinated both Sithu I and Min Shin Saw. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naratheinkha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
