Brief
[edit]According to the Razadarit Ayedawbon chronicle, the queen was the youngest daughter of Saw Ye-Bein, a senior minister at the Hanthawaddy court. Her personal name was Mi U-Si (မည်ဦးစည်). She had two elder sisters Mwei Ohn-Naung and Mwei Auk[1] In April 1392, she became a senior queen of King Razadarit, with the title of Thiri Maya Dewi (Pali: Sirimāyādevī). Her two sisters were also raised as queens at the same ceremony.[1]
She and her sisters were first cousins once removed of the king. Their father was a first cousin of Razadarit. Their paternal grandfather Binnya Thein was a noble from Chiang Mai who after a disagreement with the king of Chiang Mai had sought refuge at the court of King Binnya U. Their paternal grandmother was Tala Saw Lun, a daughter of King Saw Zein.[2]
