Min-nyi Min-tha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Min-nyi Min-tha was the common title for all Princes of the Blood of the Burmese monarchy, i.e. sons, grandsons, brothers and nephews of a sovereign, who were all assigned fiefdoms when they came of age, and promoted to this rank.

It was divided into four principal grades, as follows, awarded individually:

  • The Great Deputy King: Maha Uparaja Anaudrapa Ainshe Min, incorrectly termed Crown Prince by Europeans, and addressed as His Royal Highness.
  • Viceroy or governor of a province: (territorial title) Buring Khan, i.e. Viceroy, with the style of His Royal Highness.
  • Great Princes, a maximum of eigteen at any one time, divided into nine great princes of the left and nine great princes of the right: Minthaya-gyi, together with the rank of Sado Min, i.e. Prince, with the style of His Royal Highness.
  • Middle Princes, a maximum of eigteen at any one time, divided into nine middle princes of the left and nine middle princes of the right: Mintha-lap, together with the rank of Min Ye, Prince, with the style of His Royal Highness.

Specific titles were also used not by office, but by birth; however these were NOT indicative of the succession, for which there were no effective rules, a power struggle in the palace was the rule

  • The eldest son of the sovereign, by his chief Queen: Shwe Kodaw-gyi Awratha, i.e. Prince with the style of His Royal Highness.
  • younger sons of the sovereign, by his chief Queen: Shwe Kodaw-gyi Rajaputra, i.e. Prince with the style of His Royal Highness.
  • sons of the sovereign, by his senior Queens: Shwe Kodaw-gyi, i.e. Prince with the style of His Royal Highness.
  • sons of the sovereign, by his junior wives: Kodaw-gyi, i.e. Prince with the style of His Royal Highness.
  • sons of a Prince, by a junior wife: Hteik Tin, i.e. Prince.
