Henry VII vs Minkyinyo

Henry VII of Luxembourg was elected King of Germany after the assassination of Albert I. His election was supported by the prince-electors, who sought a compromise candidate to end the Habsburg dominance.

Henry VII of Luxembourg led a military campaign into Italy to assert imperial authority over the Guelph and Ghibelline factions. He captured several cities but faced resistance from Florence and the Papal States, leading to a prolonged conflict.

Henry VII of Luxembourg was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Clement V in Rome. This coronation was the first imperial coronation in Rome since Frederick II, and it revived the imperial ideal of universal rule.

Henry VII of Luxembourg died of malaria in Buonconvento, Italy, while preparing to attack Florence. His death ended his Italian campaign and the Luxembourg dynasty's ambitions in Italy, leading to a new interregnum.

Minkyinyo led a series of military campaigns against the Ava Kingdom, gradually expanding Toungoo's territory. He captured key towns and fortresses, weakening Ava and establishing Toungoo as a major power in Upper Burma.

Minkyinyo implemented administrative reforms to centralize power and improve governance in the Toungoo kingdom. He established a system of provincial governors and standardized taxation, which strengthened the state's ability to wage war and maintain order.

Minkyinyo declared independence from the Ava Kingdom and established the Toungoo dynasty at the city of Toungoo. He consolidated control over central Burma and laid the foundation for the reunification of the country after the collapse of the Pagan Empire.
