Binnya Ran I

King of Hanthawaddy Pegu
Years: 1393 - 1446

Binnya Ran I (1393–1446) was king of Hanthawaddy Pegu from 1424 to 1446.

As crown prince, he ends the Forty Years' War with the rival Ava Kingdom in 1423.

He comes to the throne after poisoning his brother King Binnya Dhammaraza in 1424.

As king, Binnya Ran largely keeps his kingdom at peace for much of his twenty-year reign when Ava is struggling to keep its territories intact.

He pursued an opportunistic policy to keep Ava weak, helping Toungoo's rebellion against Ava between 1437 and 1442 during which he placed his son as the viceroy of Toungoo.

When Ava reconquers Toungoo in 1442, he does not resume a large-scale war against Ava.
