Myanmar Calendar ~1500 years

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)

Sun, 6th waning of Thadingyut 930 ME (hy-2-402) Sun, 6th waxing?

ME 931 -King of Ayutthaya dies

Fri, 2nd waxing of Kason 931 ME (my-2-314) (hy-2-406)
Fri, 1st waxing of Kason 931 ME (yt-2-149) (Yazawin Thit is correct)

Tue, 4th waning of Wagaung 931 ME (hy-2-418)
?, 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.

ME 931 -Lan Xang campaign begins

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

ME 932 -King of Manipur presents his daughter

Wed, 4th waxing of Wagaung 932 ME (hy-2-433)
Wed, 5th waxing of Wagaung 932 ME (my-2-335) – incorrect!

ME 933 -Marriage of Minye Thihathu II and Min Khin Saw

Sat, 7th waxing of Nayon 933 ME (hy-2-433) (yt-2-165)

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 938 -A female white elephant arrives from Tavoy

Thu, 11th waxing of 2nd Waso 938 ME (my-3-53) (yt-2-187)
