Binnya E Laung
14th century heir-presumptive of Martaban
About Binnya E Laung
Binnya E Laung (, ) was heir-presumptive of Martaban from 1330 to the 1340s. The only known son of King Binnya E Law had a rival in his half-cousin Binnya U to be heir-apparent. He died of smallpox, and did not succeed his father as king.
Brief Binnya E Laung was born to Prince Binnya E Law and a concubine in the 1320s. E Laung was probably born in Pegu (or less probably in Sittaung), the towns where his father was governor. He was a still a young child when his father brought him to the capital Martaban (Mottama). His father had been summoned by Queen Sanda Min Hla to take over the throne. But E Law did not bring E Laung's mother, a concubine, to Martaban.
As a result, E Laung grew up without his biological mother. He was raised by a nanny named Hnin An May Han. The king freed U only after intense protestations by queens Sanda Min Hla and Tala Shin Saw Bok, mother and aunt of U.
At any rate, E Laung died shortly after from smallpox.
