1568 CE

Mahachakrabarti regains control of Ayutthaya in 1568 after his son Mahindra fails to recapture Siam’s northern provinces from the Burmese.

Mahachakrabarti’s son-in, Maha Dhammaraja, “Lord of the White Elephant,” supports the Burmese, resulting in his daughter being held hostage by her maternal grandfather, the king.

Bayinnaung, in response to this hostage-taking of his granddaughter, sends a huge army into Siam, where it lays siege to Ayutthaya.
