Narathihapate

King Narathihapate , also Tarokpyemin (* April 23, 1238 , † 1287 ) was ruler of Bagan in northern Burma from 1254 until his death . He was a son of Uzana.

In 1277 Narathihapate and his troops invaded Yunnan to stand up to the supposedly ailing Mongols or, if possible, to defeat them. However, at the Battle of Ngasaunggyan , he was completely defeated and the Bagan resistance collapsed.

The king was murdered by his son by poisoned food in 1287 before the Mongols invaded the country and the Battle of Bagan broke out. The Mongols were able to occupy most of the Bagan Empire, including the capital. They ended the dynasty by installing a puppet ruler in Burma in 1289.
