Khun Lo, legendary founder of the city of Luang Prabang (then known as Muang Sua during his reign), was the eldest of the seven sons of the Khun Borom,[1] and is credited as being the first of the prehistoric Lao monarchs.[citation needed] The royal families of Laos trace their lineage to him.

Khun Lo died in 780 and was succeeded by Khun Sung.
