Naungdawgyi (1734–1763)

Born 1734 CE, died 1763 CE.

Dabayin Min (Burmese: ဒီပဲယင်းမင်း, "Prince of Dabayin"), commonly known as Naungdawgyi (Burmese: နောင်တော်ကြီး [nàʊɰ̃dɔ̀dʑí], lit. "Elder Brother"; 10 August 1734 – 28 November 1763), personal name Maung Lauk (မောင်လောက်), was the second king of Konbaung Dynasty of Burma (Myanmar), from 1760 to 1763. He was a top military commander in his father Alaungpaya's reunification campaigns of the country. As king, he spent much of his short reign suppressing multiple rebellions across the newly founded kingdom from Ava (Inwa) and Toungoo (Taungoo) to Martaban (Mottama) and Chiang Mai. The king suddenly died less than a year after he had successfully suppressed the rebellions. He was succeeded by his younger brother Hsinbyushin.
