Hkun Law

Hkun Law (27 March 1254 – March 1311), born Ma Gada at Donwun, was Wareru's younger brother and heir. When Wareru was assassinated in January 1307 without a male heir, Gada succeeded as king of Martaban, receiving recognition from his overlord Sukhothai and the regnal name Hkun Law.

He proved a weak ruler: Lan Na raiders struck as far south as Donwun and killed its governor, while the delta governor Min Bala, his brother-in-law, ruled like a sovereign. In March 1311 Min Bala seized Martaban while Law hunted near Moulmein. Returning to find the gates shut, he fled into the woods, where Bala's troops killed him; most later Wareru-dynasty kings descended from Law.
