Athinhkaya Saw Yun (Burmese: အသင်္ခယာ စောယွမ်း[ʔəθɪ̀ɰ̃kʰəjàsɔ́jʊ́ɰ̃]; also spelled Sawyun; c. 1299 – 5 February 1327) was the founder of the Sagaing Kingdom of Myanmar (Burma). The eldest son of King Thihathu set up a rival kingdom in 1315 after Thihathu appointed Uzana I as heir-apparent.[1] Saw Yun successfully resisted two small expeditions by Pinya by 1317. While Saw Yun nominally remained loyal to his father, he was the de facto king of the area roughly corresponding to present-day Sagaing Region and northern Mandalay Region.[2]
After Thihathu's death, Sagaing and Pinya formally went separately ways. Saw Yun died in 1327.[3] Saw Yun had four children, three sons and a daughter. All of his sons became king of Sagaing. His only daughter was the mother of Thado Minbya, the founder of the Kingdom of Ava.
