Soe Min Wimala Dewi (Burmese: စိုးမင်း ဝိမလ ဒေဝီ, pronounced: [só mɪ́ɴ wḭməla̰ dèwì]) was a queen consort of King Binnya Ran I of Hanthawaddy. Soe Min was of Ava royalty, and was given to Binnya Ran in a marriage of state in 1431. Her title at Pegu was Thiri Pawara Maha Dhamma Yaza Dewi.[1] She was the mother of King Leik Munhtaw of Hanthawaddy.

Ancestry

Soe Min was born to Saw Min Pu and Gov. Thinkhaya of Pagan (Bagan). She was a half cousin as well as niece of King Minkhaung I of Ava[note 1] although she was about four decades younger. Her eldest sibling Saw Shwe Khet was viceroy of Prome (Pyay).[2] Her younger sister Atula Thiri Maha Yaza Dewi was the chief queen of King Narapati I of Ava.[3]

Notes

  1. Hmannan (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 82) says Thinkhaya of Pagan was the youngest paternal uncle of King Minkhaung I. But Thinkhaya could not have been a full paternal uncle since Minkhaung's father Swa Saw Ke did not have any full younger brothers. It means Thinkhaya was born to a junior wife of Min Shin Saw of Thayet. Moreover (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 74) says she was also a niece of Minkhaung I.
