Saw Min Waing
Queen of the Northern Palace
About Saw Min Waing
Lived 1193 – 1270 (aged 76–77).
Saw Min Waing (, ; also known as Pwa Saw) was one of the two consorts of Prince Naratheinga Uzana of Pagan. Naratheinga is regarded by some historians such as G.H. Luce and Than Tun as a king that ruled Pagan although none of the Burmese chronicles mentions him as king. Some historians such as Htin Aung and Michael Aung-Thwin do not recognize Naratheinga as king.
According to inscriptional evidence, she was probably already married to Naratheinga by 1212, and was probably about 18 to 20 years old. Although she was not the first wife (or chief queen) of Naratheinga, she seemed to have been more powerful as her son Uzana became king ahead of the two sons by the chief queen.
The queen lived to an old age; she was still alive on 9 February 1273 (Thursday, 8th waning of Tabaung 634 ME She was likely dead by October 1277, according to another inscription.)
