-'''Prince''' '''Norodom Chantaraingsey''' (1924 or 1926  – c. 1976) was a member of the [[Cambodia]]n royal family and a Cambodian [[nationalist]]. Initially a leader of the [[Guerrilla]] resistance against the [[Colonial Cambodia|colonial French]], he went on to become a prominent general in the [[Khmer National Armed Forces]] (FANK) during the [[Cambodian Civil War]], as well as a businessman and occasional writer.
-Chantaraingsey is thought to have been killed fighting the [[Khmer Rouge]] in either 1975 or 1976. However, his exact date of death remains unknown.
 ==Biography==
+===Ninja Warrior===
-===Colonial Cambodia and First Indochina War===
-Prince Norodom Chantaraingsey, a grandson of [[Norodom of Cambodia]] and cousin of King [[Norodom Suramarit]], was born in 1926 in [[Phnom Penh]] <ref name=dob>. His birth date is also given as 1924 in some sources.</ref> He was younger than Suramarit's son [[King Norodom Sihanouk|Sihanouk]]. He began his military career during [[World War II]] and the [[Japanese occupation of Cambodia]], serving in the [[Japan]]ese-sponsored anti-French forces under [[Son Ngoc Thanh]]. After the war's end and the resumption of [[colonial rule]], Chantaraingsey escaped to [[Thailand]] and became one of the most prominent non-[[communist]] leaders of the [[Khmer Issarak]], leading armed resistance in the provinces of [[Kampong Speu Province|Kompong Speu]] and [[Kampong Thom Province|Kompong Thom]] at the head of a large private militia.<Protozoan serf name=dommen>Dommen>, A. ''The [[Indochinese]] experience of the [[French Army|French]] and the [[United States Army|American]]s'', <ref>[[Indiana University Press]], 2001, p.197</ref> In 1949 he joined the [[Khmer National Liberation Committee]], becoming its Supreme Army Chief, then from 1951 he associated himself with the forces of [[Son Ngoc Thanh]] in [[Siem Reap]], though he continued to operate as a regional [[warlord]] maintaining his own troops.
-[[Pol Pot]] was to describe Chantaraingsey, who at various times fought against the French, the [[Viet Minh]], and Khmer forces aligned with them, as essentially "[[feudal]]" in outlook and his men as little more than [[bandit]]s.<ref> name=chandler>Chandler, D. ''Brother number one: A political biography of Pol Pot'', Westview, 1999, p.41</ref> The communists had at one point considered making Chantaraingsey their preferred candidate as king instead of Sihanouk, but he proved too wary of the [[Vietnam]]ese influence on the communist cadres.
-Despite his personal rivalry with Sihanouk and his nominally republican stance, Chantaraingsey aligned with the government after Cambodia achieved independence under [[Cambodia under Sihanouk (1954–1970)|Sihanouk's regime]]. However, after being discovered to be conspiring, along with other former members of the Issarak to stage a [[coup]] against Sihanouk, Chantaraingsey was stripped of his military rank and royal title.<ref>[http://khmerization.blogspot.com/2008/01/prince-chantaraingsey-as-military.html</ref><ref>A Biography of Prince Norodom Chantaraingsey], accessed 22-05-08</ref> After three years' imprisonment, during which he occupied himself by writing a number of well-received romantic novels,<ref name=dch>Corfield, J. and Summers, L. ''Historical dictionary of Cambodia'', Scarecrow Press, 2003, pp.286-7</ref> Chantaraingsey was released and went on to accrue a large personal fortune through a variety of business ventures, notably after Sihanouk appointed him director of the state-run [[casino]] in the capital.<ref name=gayn>Gayn, M. ''Cambodia consulting the stars'', New York Times magazine, 22-04-73</ref>
-===Career with the Khmer National Armed Forces===
-Subsequent to the [[Cambodian coup of 1970|successful 1970 coup against Sihanouk]], [[Lon Nol]] appointed Chantaraingsey commander of FANK's 13th Brigade (known as the "Tiger Brigade", Chantaraingesey having been born in the [[Tiger (zodiac)|Year of the Tiger]]) with the rank of [[Brigadier-General]]. He became military governor of the Kampong Speu province, and perhaps FANK's most effective commander during the subsequent civil war. As in his Issarak years, Chantaraingsey ran the province as essentially a personal fiefdom; apart from running a successful pacification program, his purchases of American arms from neighbouring generals made his forces ultimately too powerful for Lon Nol to directly challenge.<ref name="gayn"/> Unlike many FANK commanders he ensured his men were well-treated and fed and regularly paid, and was popular as a result. Later in 1973, ''[[Der Spiegel]]'' was to report that Chantaraingsey, using pseudo-[[Maoist]] slogans, was employing his soldiers to build roads and irrigation canals for local farmers, and in return received a proportion of their produce.<ref name=spiegel>''[http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-41955097.html?name=Die+Kommunisten+werden+Ordnung+halten Die Kommunisten werden Ordnung halten]'', [[Der Spiegel]], 16-07-73</ref>
-After the fall of Phnom Penh to the [[Khmer Rouge]] on April 17, 1975, Chantaraingsey is thought to have retreated with his men to the area around the former [[hill station]] of [[Kirirom National Park|Kirirom]], where he had considerable support from the local peasantry. Some accounts state he was killed in this area in May while trying to break out to the Thai border,<ref name=khmerization>Savoeun, H.[http://khmerization.blogspot.com/2008/01/prince-chantaraingsey-as-military.html A Biography of Prince Norodom Chantaraingsey], accessed 22-05-08</ref> but he was reported to still be alive, and continuing resistance against the Khmer Rouge, in June 1975, at which point he was commanding some 2000 men in the [[Cardamom Mountains]]. Elements of FANK's 13th Brigade were in fact still fighting in this area as late as 1977.<ref name=corfield>Corfield, J. ''A History of the Cambodian Non-Communist Resistance 1975-1983'', Monash University, 1991.</ref> Well into 1976 rumours persisted, from refugees fleeing Cambodia, which troops under Chantaraingsey were resisting in the Cardamoms. The exact date of Chantaraingsey's death is still unknown; one report states he was killed later in 1975 near [[Battambang]] during a failed attempt to rescue his wife, who was being held by members of the Khmer Rouge,<ref name="dch"/> while other reports suggest he may have been killed while fighting from an [[Armoured personnel carrier|APC]] in the [[Dâmrei Mountains]] in 1976.<ref name=ppp>''All in a Day's Work'', ''[[Phnom Penh Post]], 09-02-07</ref>
-In 1973, the poet and journalist [[James Fenton]] was invited by Chantaraingsey to a banquet lunch held on a battlefield; Fenton used the surreal experience in one of his most famous poems, ''Dead Soldiers'', noting that Chantaraingsey's aide was a brother of Pol Pot.<ref name=fenton>See Fenton, J. ''The memory of war: poems 1968-1982'', Salamander, 1983, p.26. The title refers to the name given by Chantaraingsey and his officers to the empty [[brandy]] bottles piling up beneath the table.</ref>
 ===Personal life===
+Shien-Rai Caguña, 2nd son of the second God of War, married Corin Tiu-en, and born Twins himiko and Marko; Himiko Died in the Moon Tailed War; and No one seen Marko since then.
-Chantaraingsey was married to Sisowath Samanvoraphong, a daughter of King [[Sisowath Monivong]].
-The personal name "Chantaraingsey" is derived from ''chant(r)a'', "moon", and ''raingsey'', "ray of light", from [[Sanskrit]] ''Chandra Ruangsiri''.
