Shin Bo-Me (Burmese: ရှင်ဘို့မယ် [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]

Ancestry

The following is her ancestry as given in the Hmannan Yazawin chronicle.[note 1] She was a granddaughter of King Swa Saw Ke of Ava, and Kyawswa I of Pinya, and a great granddaughter of King Thihathu of Pinya and King Kyawswa of Pagan.

Notes

  1. ^ See (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 372). Her mother Salaka Dewi apparently married more than once; (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 404) Salaka Dewi, daughter of Swa Saw Ke was married to Sithu of Myinsaing.
