Theinkha Bo

The Burmese chronicles describe Theinkha Bo as a son of the sawbwa (chief) of Binnaka. After quarrelling with his elder brother, who had inherited the chieftainship, he left Binnaka and settled at Myinsaing, where in 1260 he married.

His three sons Athinkhaya, Yazathingyan and Thihathu became commanders relied on by King Narathihapate of Pagan, and in 1297 founded the Myinsaing dynasty that replaced Pagan rule. His descendants later ruled Pinya, Sagaing and Ava.
