Both Binnya Kyan and Binnya Law had …
Years: 1538 - 1538
Both Binnya Kyan and Binnya Law had been childhood tutors of Takayupti, and are absolutely devoted to him.
Nonetheless, both ministers are executed in 1538 by the young king, who believes Toungoo's misinformation that the ministers are Toungoo moles.
After their death, the king finds himself helpless.
When Toungoo forces arrive once again in late 1538, he decides, rather than fight, to flee Pegu for the Prome Kingdom, where another brother-in-law of his, Narapati of Prome, is king.
(He does not retreat to Martaban, which is nominally still part of Hanthawaddy because he does not trust its governor Saw Binnya.)
The Toungoo forces take the Mon capital without firing a shot.
