Bagyidaw is crowned as Emperor of Burma…
October 1819 CE
Bagyidaw is crowned as Emperor of Burma at the imperial capital of Innwa following his grandfather's death on June 7.
Suddenly elevated to the position of Crown Prince at twenty-three by his grandfather King Bodawpaya in 1808, Bagyidaw ascends to the throne without opposition.
He thus inherits the second largest Burmese empire but also one that shares a long vaguely defined borders with British India.
