Who is Kyawswa I of Pinya?

Kyawswa I of Pinya or Ngarsishin Kyawswa was king of Pinya from 1344 to 1350. Kyawswa, who descended from both Pagan and Myinsaing dynasties, ascended the throne of Pinya in 1344. He unsuccessfully tried to reunite central Burma by making sporadic warfare against the rival Sagaing Kingdom ruled by his first-cousin Kyaswa.

Kyawswa I died in December 1350, and was succeeded by Kyawswa II. The last three kings of Pinya kings were all his sons. The Pinya Kingdom collapsed in 1364, over 13 years after his death.
