Who is Uzana I of Pinya?
Uzana I of Pinya king of Pinya Kingdom from 1325 to 1340. Uzana inherited from his stepfather Thihathu the kingdom of Pinya, which covered roughly the eastern part the Irrawaddy river and southern parts of central Burma. The western and extreme northern parts of central Burma was the domain of the Sagaing Kingdom, founded by Thihathu's eldest son, Sawyun.
Uzana I, an ethnic Burman, was essentially a nominal king of a kingdom dominated by ethnic Shan ministers of the court. In 1340, Uzana I abdicated the throne and became a hermit. He was eventually succeeded by his half-brother, Kyawswa I, son of his mother and Thihathu.
