Shin Myat Hla ((ビルマ語:ရှင်မြတ်လှ), ; also known as Shin Mi-Myat〔Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 440〕 or Me Myat Hla〔Letwe Nawrahta 1961: 12〕) was the chief queen consort of King Mohnyin Thado of Ava (now Burma) from 1426 to 1439. She was also a junior queen of King Minkhaung I of Ava for five months in 1409–10. She was the mother of kings Minye Kyawswa I and Narapati I of Ava. She was also an eight-times great grandmother of King Alaungpaya of Konbaung Dynasty.〔 ==Brief== Shin Myat Hla was descended from Pinya and Pagan royal lines. Her father Thihapate II was a grandson of King Thihathu of Ava, and her mother was a great-great granddaughter of King Kyawswa of Pagan. Though her date of birth is unknown, based on the date of her first marriage, 1409,〔 she was probably born in the early to mid 1390s. She grew up in Taungdwin which her father had ruled since at least 1364.〔(Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 398, 400): Her father declared himself king with the title of Thet-taw-shay Thihapate when the Pinya Kingdom collapsed in 1364. He submitted to the new king, Thadominbya, in the dry season of 1366–67, only after the latter had laid siege to Taungdwin. According to inscriptional evidence, Thihapate was still governor of Taungdwin in 1402 per (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 63).〕 She had at least one elder half-brother, the father of Shin Bo-Me.〔(Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 372): Her mother was not the first wife of her father, whose first wife was Saw Myat, a sister of King Swasawke of Ava. Thihapate and Saw Myat had at least one son, named Theingathu (or Theinkhathu).〕 Her cloistered upbringing changed drastically in 1409. She was married off to King Minkhaung I of Ava. (She was following in the footsteps of her niece Shin Bo-Me, who became a queen of Minkhaung in 1407.) But five months into the marriage, in late 1409/early 1410,〔Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 81〕 the king gave her to Min Nansi, then a commander in his army, as a reward for the commander's performance in then ongoing war with Pegu.〔 Furthermore, the couple was sent off to Mohnyin, a rebellion-prone Shan state (in present-day Kachin State), where her new husband was appointed ''sawbwa'' (chief; essentially governor-general). Over the next 16 years, her husband came to be known as "Mohnyin Thado" (Prince of Mohnyin). The couple had four children (two sons and two daughters): Minye Kyawswa, Narapati, Shin Hla Myat of Pakhan, and Saw Hla Htut of Pagan (Bagan).〔Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 62〕 Myat Hla became queen of Ava again—this time as the chief queen, succeeding her niece Bo-Me—in 1426 when Mohnyin Thado seized the Ava throne.〔Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 61〕 She remained the chief queen for the entire duration of Mohnyin's reign (1426–39).〔The obituary section of King Mohnyin in (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 75–77) states only her as the chief queen. Furthermore, she was still alive in 1438 per (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 75).〕 Her two sons became kings of Ava. Her eldest child Minye Kyawswa reigned from 1439 to 1442 while her second child Narapati reigned from 1442 to 1468. In all, her descendants ruled Ava until 1527.〔Htin Aung 1967: 337〕 King Alaungpaya, the founder of Konbaung Dynasty, was an 11th generation descendant of the queen.〔 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「Shin Myat Hla of Ava」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
