1527 CE

The Confederation of Shan States, led by the Shans of Mohnyin, attack the Burmese kingdom of Ava in 1527, killing its king and capturing and sacking the city.

Most of Ava’s citizens flee to Toungoo to the south.

The Shans install as king Prince Thohanbwa, who presides over a period of terrible devastation, with Buddhist monks immolated, temples looted, and libraries destroyed.
