Min Hla Htut (Burmese: မင်းလှထွတ်, pronounced [mɪ́ɴ l̥a̰ tʰʊʔ]; also known as Saw Min Phyu (စောမင်းဖြူ); b. 1388/89) was a princess of Ava. She was the only daughter of King Tarabya of Ava and Queen Min Hla Myat of Ava and sister of King Min Nyo of Ava.[3]
According to the Maha Yazawin chronicle, her first marriage was to Prince Thihathu, her first cousin six years her junior. The marriage, arranged by her uncle King Minkhaung I, soon ended in divorce. The king then married her off to Saw Shwe Khet.[4] However, the chronicle Yazawin Thit rejects that the marriage between Saw Min Htut and Thihathu ever took place, citing a 1415/16 stone inscription.[note 1] The Hmannan Yazawin accepts the Yazawin Thit's rejection.[2]
According to the inscription, Hla Htut married Saw Shwe Khet in 1403/04. They had their child, Shin Yun, c. 1408.[note 2] Shin Yun later became wife of Gov. Min Maha of Prome.[2]
Ancestry

Notes
[edit]- ^ The Yazawin Thit cites a 777 ME (1415/16 CE) inscription which states that Min Htut and Shwe Khet were married in 765 ME (1403/04) when Thihathu (b. 1394) was at most nine years old. This means Thihathu would have been even younger if Hla Htut and Thihathu were married prior to 1403/04.[1]
- ^ Shin Yun was in her seventh year (aged six) at the time of the inscription (in 1415/16).[1][2]
