Hkun Law (Burmese: ခွန်လော, [kʰʊ̀ɴ lɔ́]; 1273–1311) was the second king of Hanthawaddy from 1307 to 1311. He ascended to the throne after his elder brother King Wareru was assassinated.[2] Hkun Law was of Shan and Mon descent.[3]
His kingdom remained a nominal vassal of the Sukhothai Kingdom in the east but incurred raids to the Sittaung valley by another Tai kingdom of Lan Na. His brother, Yan Maw La Mon who was governor of Sittaung and Donwun was killed in a Lan Na attack on Donwun. As he prepared to defend the raids, Hkun Law was assassinated in 1311 by his brother-in-law, who placed his son Saw O on the throne.[4]
