Min Hti

Min Hti (c. 1270s–c. 1373/1374) was king of Launggyet Arakan, credited by the chronicles with a reign of 106 years, the longest reputed in history; modern scholars allow about 95 or fewer. The chronicles say his father Min Bilu, hearing prophecies about the boy, had him thrown into the Lemro River, but fishermen rescued him.

After Min Bilu was murdered by the usurper Sithabin I, ministers executed the usurper and in about 1279 acclaimed the nine-year-old Min Hti. He repelled the Shans in 1294, and in 1334 sent an army over the Arakan Mountains to take Thayet, founding the town of Ann around 1335 on the way home.

He died without a legitimate heir and an illegitimate son succeeded; the line of his son Thinhse later produced Min Saw Mon, founder of Mrauk U.
