Description:
"The reign of the Mon king Rajadhirat (r. 1383-1421) was
an exceptional period in Burma?s history. Rarely has one
person exerted so much influence over the events of an
era. Lower and Upper Burma were locked in endemic
warfare for almost forty years during his reign. Unlike
his father and predecessor, Rajadhirat was forced to
wage war to obtain power. Once in power, he had to
continue fighting to maintain power. During the critical
first seven years of his rule, Rajadhirat consolidated
power in a series of conflicts with other members of the
ruling elite..."
