Narathihapati
Narathihapati (or Tayoke Pyay Min , " that which flees in front of the chinois") was eleventh and last large sovereign of the Royaume of Pagan, in Burma. It succeeded his Uzana father in 1254, was overcome by Mongolian with the Bataille of Ngasaunggyan (1277) and was assassinated by one of its sons in 1287.
It completed the last large monument of Bagan, the Mingalazedi ( zedi means Burmese Stûpa in ). In the dedication of this monument, Narathihapati proclaims chief of 36 million soldiers and claims to consume 300 dishes of curry per day.
Sure on its power, it decided to intervene militarily with the Yunnan, where Mongolian of Kubilaï had just transformed the Royaume of Dali into Chinese province (1274). Its army was crushed with the Bataille of Ngasaunggyan and itself had its safety only with the escape.
In 1283, Mongolian invaded the north of the Kingdom of Pagan. Narathihapati flees in Bassein (today Pathein) and its tender offered to them, which was worth its defamatory nickname to him. Of return to Prome, he was assassinated by his Thihathu son in 1287. These events encouraged the future emperor Témur, then stationed with the Yunnan, to push front in Burma: in the current of the year Mongolian took Bagan and reflects on its throne another son of Narathihapati, Kyawsaw.
