About Thiri Yaza Dewi

Lived 1554 – 1600.

Thiri Yaza Dewi (, ; ) personal name "Khin Hpone Thut" ခင်ဘုန်းထွဋ် The marriages of state solidified the ties between Minkhaung II and Nanda, the High King. At Pegu (Bago), she became the Queen of the Northern Palace.

The queen lost her office in 1599 when Nanda surrendered to the forces of her brother Minye Thihathu II of Toungoo and Raza II of Mrauk-U. She was part of the defeated royal family that was brought back to her native Toungoo (Taungoo) in 1600. She became a widow on 30 November 1600 when her nephew Natshinnaung assassinated Nanda. On 21 November 1602, Minye Thihathu II married her off to his third son (and her nephew) Minye Thihathu III of Toungoo, who was at least 20 years, perhaps even 25 years, her junior. On the same day, her only daughter, Min Shwe-Don, was married to her nephew (and her new husband's younger brother), Minye Kyawhtin II of Kawliya.

She apparently died sometime in the next eight years.

Ancestry The queen was descended from the Prome and ultimately Ava royalty from her mother's side. Her father Minkhaung was a half-brother of King Bayinnaung. Her personal name was Min Pu.
