About “Alaungpaya Ayedawbon”
Alaungpaya Ayedawbon is a biographic chronicle of King Alaungpaya of the Konbaung Dynasty. It is one of two similar texts that describe the king's life, starting from his supposed ancestry linked to King Sithu II of the Pagan Dynasty and ending with his death in 1760 from an illness during a campaign against Siam. The text provides details about his eight-year reign, though it is one of two versions that differ in some information. The chronicle is part of Burmese historical writing.
