Ancestry

The following is the family tree of Queen Soe Min, according to the royal chronicles. Her parents were first cousins, both descended from the Ava royalty. Her great grandfathers Minye Kyawswa (of the Forty Years' War fame) and Sithu of Paukmyaing were grandsons of King Swa Saw Ke of Ava.[6]

Notes
  1. Chronicles are inconsistent about the date of the marriage. (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 121) says the marriage occurred in Tabaung 863 ME (6 February to 7 March 1502). But (Hmannan Vol. 2 2003: 178–179) gives 871 ME (30 March 1509 to 30 March 1510).
