1569 CE
The huge Burmese army of invasion besieges the Siamese capital of Ayutthaya for ten months in the face of fierce resistance.
Shortly after the death of Siam’s King Mahachakrabarti, a treacherous monk aids the Burmese in entering the city on August 30, 1569.
Mahachakrabarti’s son Mahindra dies as a captive.
Bayinnaung installs on the Siamese throne a new vassal, the late Mahachakrabarti’s son-in-law Maha Dhammaraja, upon the return of the latter’s son and heir, Prince Naresuan, held hostage by the Burmese.
Bayinnaung deports thousands of enslaved Siamese to the Burmese kingdom.
