Kyawswa of Pagan

Kyawswa was king of Pagan in Burma from 1289 to 1297. He inherited a kingdom broken by the Mongol invasions and controlled little more than the capital, while three brothers held the Kyaukse district. In 1297 he accepted Yuan overlordship to protect himself, but the brothers overthrew him the same year and executed him in 1299.
