Sanda Min Hla

Sanda Min Hla (c. early 14th century – 1363/1364), personal name Hnin An Po, was chief queen of three kings of Martaban and the real power behind its throne. A daughter of King Hkun Law and niece of the founder Wareru, she lost her father to a coup in 1311, when the usurpers married her to their son, her cousin Saw Zein.

By 1323 she was his chief queen and had borne Binnya U. After Zein's assassination in 1330 she put down the usurper Zein Pun within a week, then enthroned and married Saw E, grandson of Sukhothai's king, only to poison him after 49 days and place her half-brother Binnya E Law on the throne.

The killing brought a Sukhothai invasion in 1330–1331; E Law defeated it, ending Martaban's vassalage. She held power behind the throne until Binnya U succeeded in 1348.
