Smim Htaw
Smim Htaw was the king chosen at Pegu in 1740 by the Mon and other rebels of Lower Burma who rose against the Toungoo dynasty of Ava, reviving the name of the Hanthawaddy kingdom. A former monk, he proved a weak ruler and was replaced in 1747 by Binnya Dala, who went on to capture Ava in 1752.
