Person
Maha Thammaracha III
Maha Thammaracha III, also known as Sai Lue Thai, was king of Sukhothai from about 1398 to 1419, as a vassal of Ayutthaya. He tried to restore Sukhothai's standing and strained against its overlord, but lacked the strength to break free, and the centre of the kingdom shifted to Phitsanulok. His death was followed by a succession dispute settled by King Intharacha of Ayutthaya.
