The couple had four children:[3]

  • Thakin Lat: King of Burma (r. 1605–28)
  • Thakin Gyi: King of Burma (r. 1629–48)
  • Min Taya Medaw: Queen of Burma (r. 1609–28)[note 2]
  • Thakin Phyu: Crown Prince of Burma (r. 1635–47).

Notes

  1. [N 1]
    Both (Maha Yazawin Vol. 3 2006: 61) and (Hmannan Vol. 3 2003: 42) say that he married Khin Hpone Myat on 9th waxing of Tabodwe 938 ME (25 February 1577). But the name Khin Hpone Myat is most probably a typographical error. Hmannan's detailed list of Bayinnaung's issue (Hmannan Vol. 3 2003: 68) shows that her name was "Khin Hpone Myint", daughter of Shin Htwe Myat. The complete list (Hmannan Vol. 3 2003: 68–73) does include two other daughters named Khin Hpone Myat; the first Khin Hpone Myat, daughter of Khin Gyi Sit, was married to Sithu, Gov. of Mawlamyaing, and the second Khin Hpone Myat, daughter of Khin Htwe Phyu, to Ottamarit, Gov. of Sagaing.
  2. [N 2]
    (Maha Yazawin Vol. 3 2006: 134): She was raised as the chief queen of her full brother Thakin Lat (King Anaukpetlun) on 8 February 1609.
