Tannet (king)
Tannet (Thannet, Burmese : တန် နက် , spoken [tàɴ nɛʔ] ; * 878 in Bagan ; † 934 ibid) was king of the Bagan dynasty in Burma from 906 until his death .
Burmese chronicles from that period indicate a reign of Tannet from 878 to 906, but the dates can be corrected to 906 to 934 based on the assumption of government of the founder of the Bagan Empire, his great-grandson Anawrahta , in 1044.
According to legend, Tannet was a son of King Pyinbya who founded the city of Bagan. He came to the throne at the age of 28 and was a horse lover with a lot of experience. He was murdered by his groom Sale Ngahkwe , who subsequently occupied the throne.
