Shin Bo-Me (Template:Lang-my [ʃɪ̀ɴ bo̰ mɛ̀]; also spelled Shin Bo-Mai) was queen to five consecutive kings of Ava. The queen was considered a great beauty. She was the favorite and chief queen of Minkhaung I.[2] She became the chief queen in 1407.[3] She was also the favorite queen of Thihathu until Shin Sawbu became queen in 1424. In August 1425, Bo-Me engineered the death of Thihathu. She "married" the successor, 7-year-old Min Hla. Three months later, she poisoned the boy king and put her lover Kale Kyetaungnyo on the Ava throne, and again became the chief queen.[4] In May 1426, Kyetaungnyo was overthrown by Mohnyin Thado, who subsequently made Bo-Me a junior queen.[5]
