Swa Saw Ke
Swa Saw Ke was king of Ava in Upper Burma from 1367 to 1400, consolidating the kingdom founded by Thado Minbya in 1365. He brought much of central Burma under Ava's control and in 1385 began the Forty Years' War against the Mon kingdom of Hanthawaddy under Razadarit, which his son Minkhaung I continued. His long reign laid the foundations of Ava as the leading power of Upper Burma.
