Narathihapate (also Sithu IV; 1238–1287) is the last king of the Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1256 to 1287.
The king is unkindly remembered for two things: his gluttonous appetite, which supposedly required all his dinners to have three hundred varieties of dishes; and his panic flight from Mongol invasions.
He is known as Tayok-Pyay Min, (lit.
"King who Fled from the Chinese").
At Lower Burma, the king is poisoned by his second son Thihathu.
Nearly two hundred and fifty years of Pagan's rule over the Irrawaddy basin and its periphery come to an end.
The country breaks apart into multiple kingdoms, an interregnum that will last for another two hundred and fifty years years, until the emergence of Toungoo dynasty reunites the country in the mid-sixteenth century.
