Thihathura II of Ava (Burmese: ဒုတိယ သီဟသူရ (အင်းဝ); 1474–1502) was the joint-king of Ava who co-reigned with his father Minkhaung II for 15 years. He was just seven when he was appointed the heir-apparent by Minkhaung II. At 12, he was made a co-regent. He lived in the same palace with his father, and displayed a white umbrella as a symbol of sovereignty. He co-ruled with his father for 15 years but died a month earlier than his father.[2] Minkhaung, who faced numerous rebellions throughout his reign, made his son joint-king because he wanted to retain loyalty of his son. Minkhaung outlived his son, died in March 1502 and was succeeded by his younger son Shwenankyawshin (Narapati II).[3]
