Hkonmaing


Hkonmaing was king of Ava from 1542 to 1545. The saopha of the Shan state of OnbaungHsipaw was elected by the Ava court to the Ava throne in 1542, by extension the leader of the Confederation of Shan States, despite strenuous objections by the House of Mohnyin. He was accepted as the leader by other Confederation leaders only because the Confederation was in the middle of a serious war with Toungoo Dynasty. After the Confederations failed military campaigns in 154345 that resulted in the loss of Central Burma, Hkonmaing lost the support of Sawlon II of Mohnyin. He died in 1545 while fighting a Mohnyinbacked rebellion by Sithu Kyawhtin.
