Who was Yazathingyan?

Yazathingyan was a co-founder of Myinsaing Kingdom in today's central Burma. A former commander in Pagan Empire's military, Yazathingyan was the middle brother of the Three Shan Brothers that founded Myinsaing Kingdom, which filled the void in central Burma following the collapse of Pagan's authority in 1287. The three brothers ruled as co-regents from their respective capitals in Kyaukse district, Yazathingyan from Mekkara. Yazathingyan died c. 1302. Five years later, the youngest brother Thihathu poisoned the eldest brother Athinhkaya, and took over the throne for himself.
