Kyaswa of Pagan

d. 1251 · 13th century · Also known as Kyaswa

Kyaswa was king of Pagan from 1235 to 1251, the son and successor of Htilominlo. Remembered as a learned and pious king devoted to the study of Buddhist scripture, he left government largely to his ministers and gained little new territory or revenue. His reign saw the crown struggle with the growing extent of tax-free religious landholding.
