Narathu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Narathu 1167-70 AD, murdered his father, Alaungsithu and seized the throne. His short reign was a time of disorder and bloodshed.

Shin Arahan’s successor, Panthagu, left the country in disgust and retired to Ceylon. In feverish atonement for his many cruelties Narathu built the largest of all the Pagan temples, the Dammayan. Narathu was violently murdered.

His son Naratheinhka, who succeeded him, failed completely to deal with the anarchy which was widespread throughout the Iand. He was murdered by rebels in 1173. Then his younger brother, Narapatisithu, came to the throne, and during his reign of thirty-seven years (1173-1210) there is little record of disorder and much of building.[1]
