Konekham
Konekham (full name Samdat Brhat-Anya Chao Kunikama ; * 15th century ; † 1432 in Kokrua , Laos ) was king of Lan Chang , today's Luang Phrabang in Laos , from 1430 until his death .
Konekham was initially appointed governor of Mueang Xieng-Sa and received the title of Brhat-Anya Jikama (Chikkham) when he was out of adolescence. In 1430 he succeeded his brother Yukhon on the throne of Lan Chang, who was hotly contested in those years. Konekham ruled for about 18 months before he was murdered in Kokrua on the orders of his aunt Nang Keo Pimpha .
Konekham was briefly succeeded by Samsaenthai's son , Kham-Tam Sa , to the throne.
