Binnya Set (Burmese: ဗညားစက်, pronounced [bəɲá sɛʔ]) was governor of Dagon from 1415 to 1418. He was appointed governor c. April 1415^{[note 2]} by his father King Razadarit of Hanthawaddy Pegu during the long running war against the northern Ava Kingdom.^[1]^[2] He was captured by the Ava armies in early 1418, and brought back to their capital of Ava (Inwa). There, Set was given good treatment befitting a prince.^[3]^[4] Chronicles do not say that he ever returned to his native country.

Notes

^ Chronicles first mention Binnya Set only in 1415; he may have been the youngest son of Razadarit.
^ (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 262): Set's appointment at Dagon came soon after Minye Kyawswa's death in March 1415.
