Binnya Set (Burmese: ဗညားစက်, pronounced [bəɲá sɛʔ]) was governor of Dagon from 1415 to 1418. He was appointed governor c. April 1415[note 2] by his father King Razadarit of Hanthawaddy Pegu during the long running war against the northern Ava Kingdom.[1][2] He was captured by the Ava armies in early 1418, and brought back to their capital of Ava (Inwa). There, Set was given good treatment befitting a prince.[3][4] Chronicles do not say that he ever returned to his native country.

Notes

  1. ↑ Chronicles first mention Binnya Set only in 1415; he may have been the youngest son of Razadarit.
  2. ↑ (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 262): Set's appointment at Dagon came soon after Minye Kyawswa's death in March 1415.
