Saw O ((ビルマ語:စောအော), ; 1283–1323) was the third king of the Hanthawaddy Pegu from 1311 to 1323. Saw O succeeded his maternal uncle Hkun Law, who was assassinated by Saw O's father Min Bala in 1311. When Saw O ascended to the throne on 10 April 1311 (Saturday, 6th waning of Tagu 673 ME), his kingdom was a nominal vassal of Sukhothai. He was even married to a daughter of the king of Sukhothai. But as the power of Sukhothai declined, Saw O took possession of the Tenasserim coast from his nominal overlord Sukhothai.〔Phayre 1967: 66–67〕 His reign was largely peaceful and prosperous, and the kingdom's northern frontier was quiet. (Unlike Lower Burma under a single kingdom, Upper Burma remained disunited, split among petty kingdoms. None of the Upper Burmese kingdoms was in a position to make war with a unified south.) However the king's desire to be independent of Sukhothai led to future wars between the two kingdoms.〔 Saw O died in September 1323, and was succeeded by his brother Saw Zein. ==Background== Like his predecessors, Saw O was also of Shan and Mon descent.〔Htin Aung 1967: 78–80〕 (''He was at least a quarter Shan as his mother Hnin U Yaing, sister of King Wareru, was half-Shan. Part of his name Saw was the Shan honorific Sao.'') He had a son Saw E (future king) and a daughter with Princess of Sukhothai.〔 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「Saw O」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
