Sagaing
Sagaing was an Upper Burmese kingdom on the Irrawaddy, ruled by a branch of the Myinsaing dynasty. In 1337 Anawrahta ruled while chief minister Nanda Pakyan dominated the court.
From 1356 to 1364 Maw Shan forces repeatedly invaded. In 1364 they besieged Sagaing while Pinya blockaded it by river, then sacked both capitals. Sagaing founder Saw Yun’s grandson Thado Minbya seized the two ruined capitals and founded the kingdom of Ava in 1365.
