has gloss | eng: Singu Min (; 10 May 1756 - 6 February 1782) was the fourth king of the Konbaung dynasty of Myanmar. Singu succeeded his father King Hsinbyushin in 1776 amid controversy as his ascension ignored the wish of King Alaungpaya that all his sons become king. Singus ascension was made possible by the support of his father-in-law Gen. Maha Thiha Thura, the commander-in-chief of the Burmese military. Concerned about his own rule at home, Singu ordered Maha Thiha Thura back to Ava and the withdrawal of Burmese forces from Lan Na and Upper Menam valley where Maha Thiha Thura had been engaged in battle against the Siamese and Lan Na (Chaing Mai) forces. The withdrawals longterm impact was that the Burmese would lose most of the old Lan Na Kingdom, which had been under Burmese suzerainty since 1558. |
