Binnya E Law

Binnya E Law (1308–1348/1349), son of King Hkun Law and nephew of founder Wareru, ruled Martaban from 1330. He was three when his father was assassinated in a coup in 1311, but the children were spared. He won the trust of his cousin King Saw Zein, who made him governor of Sittaung and later Pegu.

In 1330 Saw Zein was assassinated, and King Saw E, set up by Queen Sanda Min Hla, was poisoned within 49 days. Sanda Min Hla, E Law's half-sister, then summoned him to Martaban. His armies defeated a Sukhothai invasion in 1330–1331, ending Martaban's tributary status to the Siamese kingdom, though the fighting brought famine.

In his later years his son Binnya E Laung and Sanda Min Hla's son Binnya U rivalled for the succession, once fighting an elephant-back duel that U won. E Law died in 1348/1349, and U succeeded him.
