Uzana of Pagan

Uzana (1213–1256) ruled the Pagan kingdom of Burma from 1251 to 1256, though he already held full authority under his devout father Kyaswa. He left government to his chief minister Yazathingyan, preferring to drink and hunt elephants.

In May 1256 he was accidentally trampled to death by an elephant while hunting near Dala. His death opened a succession struggle: his eldest son Thihathu claimed the throne, but Yazathingyan's court secured the crown for Narathihapate, Uzana's son by a concubine.
