About Uzana of Pagan

  • Uzana (Burmese: ????, pronounced [??z?nà]; also known as Sithu III; 1213–1256) was king of Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1251 to 1256.
  • He assumed the regnal name "Sri Tribhuvanaditya Dhammarajajayasura" (???????????????????????????).Although his actual reign lasted only five years, Uzana was essentially the power behind the throne during his predecessor Kyaswa's reign, 1235–1251.
  • Kyaswa, a devout Buddhist and scholar, had given Uzana full royal authority to govern the kingdom to the business of governing the country.
  • However Uzana reportedly cared more about chasing elephants, and drinking liquor than governing during his father's or his reign.
  • As king, he left the task of governing to his chief minister Yazathingyan.
  • The king was accidentally killed at Dala (modern Twante) in May 1256 while hunting elephants.His death was followed by a brief power struggle for the throne.
  • His eldest son, Thihathu, claimed the throne but was pushed aside by the court led by Yazathingyan, who placed the other son by a concubine, Narathihapate, on the throne by November 1256.
