Uthumphon

d. 1796 · 18th century

Uthumphon was a king of Ayutthaya who succeeded his father Borommakot in 1758 but gave up the throne within weeks to his elder brother Ekkathat and became a monk. When the Burmese took Ayutthaya in 1767 he was carried off to Burma, where he died in 1796; testimony attributed to him is a source for the history of Ayutthaya.
