Hanthawaddy Pegu, (Mon) Kingdom of
The Hanthawaddy Kingdom (also Hanthawaddy Pegu or simply Pegu) is the dominant kingdom that rules lower Burma (Myanmar) from 1287 to 1539 and from 1550 to 1552.
The Mon-speaking kingdom is founded as Ramannadesa and Mon by King Wareru following the collapse of the Pagan Empire in 1287 as a nominal vassal state of Sukhothai Kingdom, and of the Mongol Yuan dynasty.
The kingdom becomes formally independent of Sukhothai in 1330 but remains a loose federation of three major regional power centers: the Irrawaddy delta, Pegu, and Martaban.
Its kings have little or no authority over the vassals.
Martaban is in open rebellion from 1363 to 1388.
