Anaukpetlun

Anaukpetlun succeeded his father Nyaungyan Min as king of the Toungoo dynasty. He continued the reunification of Burma, which had fragmented after the fall of Pegu in 1599, restoring central authority and rebuilding the kingdom's power.

Anaukpetlun captured the port city of Syrian (Thanlyin) from Portuguese mercenaries led by Filipe de Brito. De Brito had established an independent rule there. The victory eliminated Portuguese influence in Lower Burma and secured the Irrawaddy delta.

Anaukpetlun invaded and conquered the Lanna kingdom (centered on Chiang Mai), bringing it under Toungoo suzerainty. This expanded Burmese control into northern Thailand and secured the eastern frontier against Ayutthaya.

Anaukpetlun was assassinated by his son, Crown Prince Minyedeippa, who then seized the throne. The patricide plunged the Toungoo court into instability and led to a brief period of turmoil before Thalun eventually restored order.
