Notes
[edit]- ^ (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 62–63): Queen Mya Hla's fresco writings from the Shwe Kyaung Monastery in Pagan (Bagan), her paternal grandfather was Thray Sithu, and her maternal grandfather was Thettawshay. The writers of Hmannan identified the Thettawshay as Thettawshay of Myinsaing, who was a son-in-law of King Thihathu. Since King Thihathu died in 1325, the maternal grandmother was unlikely to have been Thihathu's daughter. It is likely that Queen Myat Hla and Thiri Zeya Thura's maternal grandmother was another wife of Thet-taw-shay.
- ^ (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 398, 400): His father declared himself king with the title of Thet-taw-shay Thihapate when the Pinya Kingdom collapsed in 1364. He submitted to the new king, Thado Minbya, in the dry season of 1366–67, only after the latter had laid siege to Taungdwin. According to inscriptional evidence, Thihapate was still governor of Taungdwin in 1402 per (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 63).
