ME 930 - 939

ME 930 -Learns of Ayutthaya’s rebellion

Fri, 2nd waning of Nayon 930 ME (hy-2-393) Should be 5th waning of Nayon 930 ME (Burmese numerals 2 and 5 can easily be miscopied)

ME 930 -Queen Atula Thiri dies

Tue, 7th waning of 1st Waso 930 ME (hy-2-395)

?, 4th waning of Wagaung 931 ME (my-2-324)

None of the major chronicles agrees with one another. Yazawin Thit does say that the attack on the city began at night. I think the attack began on Mon, 5th waning of Wagaung and took the city on Tue, 6th waning.

ME 931 -Appoints Maha Thammarachathirat as king of Siam

Wed, 5th waning of Thadingyut 931 ME (hy-2-419)
Hmannan is internally inconsistent. If 4th waning of Wagaung was a Tuesday, 5th waning of Thadingyut should fall on a Saturday. Maha Yazawin doesn’t provide the day of the week.

Fri, 6th waxing of Tazaungmon 931 ME (my-2-327)

Sun, 12th waning of Waso 937 ME (yt-2-179) (hy-3-21)

ME 937 -Campaign to Mohnyin begins

Sat, 7th waning of Thadingyut 937 ME (yt-2-181) (hy-3-22) This can’t be right given that 12th waning of Waso was a Sunday!

ME 939 -Thinga Dathta’s hair knotting ceremony

ME 924 - Keng Tung submits

?, 6th waning of Nadaw 924 ME (hy-2-344)

ME 924 - Campaign to Chinese Shan States begins

Fri, 4th waxing of Tabaung 924 ME (my-2-261) Should be 14th waxing!

ME 924 - Yaza Dewi raised to senior queen

Wed, 5th waning of Tabaung 924 ME (my-2-265) & (hy-2-344) Should be Thu, 5th waning; Wed, 4th waning Or Wed, 5th waxing. Both chronicles spell out Wednesday, so the actual date was probably Wednesday.

ME 925 - Sends an embassy to Siam, demanding tribute

Fri, 12th waning of Waso 925 ME (hy-2-345) should be 2nd Waso!

ME 925 - Siam Campaign begins

Mon, 12th waning of Tazaungmon 925 ME (my-2-268) was it Mon, 2nd waning?

ME 925 - Overruns Portuguese defenses at the Ayutthaya harbor

Mon, 11th waning of Tabodwe 925 ME (yt-2-123) (hy-2-353) Mon, 15th waning of Tabodwe 925 ME (my-2-271) –15th waning or waxing is almost always a copying error! In this case, both Yazawin Thit and Hmannan corrected Maha Yazawin.

ME 925 - Siam surrenders

Fri, 8th waxing of Tabaung 925 ME (my-2-273) (hy-2-355)

Fri, 11th waxing of Thadingyut 927 ME (my-2-292)

ME 928 - Reconstruction of Pegu begins

Thu, 10th waxing of Tazaungmon 928 ME (my-2-293) (hy-2-380) I think this should be 927 ME because it comes (p. 293) before other earlier entries for 928 ME (p. 294). Plus, I don’t think 927 ME was a wa-gyi-dat (Small Leap) year but rather a wa-nge-dat year—a leap day wasn’t added at the end of Nayon.

Sun, 5th waxing of Tabodwe 912 ME (Per the Shwezigon Pagoda inscription – my-2-339) Maha Yazawin says Sun, 3rd waxing of Tabodwe 912, which is incorrect.

ME 913 -Bayinnaung takes Prome
