Years: 1550 - 1550
A Mon revival had been gathering momentum in Lower Burma while Tabinshwehti had been campaigning in the east.
Tabinshwehti, depressed by his defeat in Siam and unable to control his restive subjects, has turned to drink and is assassinated in 1550 by Mon members of his own court; a Mon prince declares himself the new king of Burma, but Mon rebel leader Smim Htaw seizes control of Pegu and overthrows the usurping prince.
