Mingyinyo: Biography, Facts and Career
Who is Mingyinyo? An evergreen, sourced profile: biography, key facts and career.
Mingyi Nyo (Burmese: မင်းကြီးညို; pronounced [mɪ́ɰ̃dʑíɲò]; also spelled Minkyi Nyo; 1459–1530), was the founder of the Toungoo dynasty of Burma (Myanmar). Under his 45-year leadership (1485–1530), Toungoo (Taungoo), grew from a remote backwater vassal state of Ava Kingdom to a small but stable independent kingdom. In 1510, he declared Toungoo's independence from its nominal overlord Ava. He skillfully kept his small kingdom out of the chaotic warfare plaguing Upper Burma. Toungoo's stability continued to attract refugees from Ava fleeing the repeated raids of Ava by the Confederation of Shan States (1490s–1527). Nyo left a stable, confident kingdom that enabled his successor Tabinshwehti to contemplate taking on larger kingdoms on his way to founding the Toungoo Empire.
