Saw Zein

Saw Zein (19 May 1303 – c. April 1330), also titled Binnya Ran De, was king of Martaban and a son of Min Bala and Hnin U Yaing, succeeding his brother Saw O in September 1323.

His vassals revolted: he retook Pegu, Dagon and Dala, set up a temporary capital north of Pegu and gathered war elephants before forcing the delta lords of Myaungmya and Bassein to submit. He could not recover the Tenasserim coast from Sukhothai and made a truce as its nominal vassal. In April 1330 his officer Zein Pun murdered him at a housewarming feast; the usurper was killed a week later.
