Nawrahta of Kanni

Nawrahta of Kanni (b. 1300) was the youngest son of King Thihathu of Pinya and his chief queen Mi Saw U. On 7 February 1313 his father enfeoffed him with the town of Shisha.

When the Myinsaing kingdom split into Pinya and Sagaing in 1315, he stayed with his father's Pinya side. In March 1344 his brother Kyawswa took the throne and made him governor of Pinle, the family's ancestral base, but the two soon became rivals.

In 1349 Nawrahta fled west to Sagaing, where his nephew Nawrahta Minye had just become king and made him governor of Kanni. Later chronicles trace King Bayinnaung of the Toungoo dynasty back to him as a maternal great-great-great-grandfather.
