Myat Hpone Pyo (Burmese: မြတ်ဘုန်းပြို,[1] pronounced [mjaʔ pʰóʊɴ pjò]; also spelled မြတ်ဖုန်းဖြိုး,[2] [mjaʔ pʰóʊɴ pʰjó]) was the chief wife of Gov. Thado Minsaw of Tharrawaddy. She was the mother of King Bayin Htwe of Prome (r. 1526–1532), and paternal grandmother of kings Narapati of Prome (r. 1532–1539) and Minkhaung of Prome (r. 1539–1542).
Myat Hpone Pyo (or Myat Hpone Hpyo) was the youngest child of Princess Saw Min Phyu and Saw Shwe Khet,[3] who was governor of Prome (r. 1417–1422; 1442–1446) and Tharrawaddy (r. 1422–1427; 1446–1460). The princess was a granddaughter of the famous crown prince Minye Kyawswa of Ava, and a great granddaughter of King Minkhaung I of Ava from her mother's side, and a descendant of King Kyawswa of Pagan from both sides. She had two full siblings: Gov. Minye Kyawswa I of Kalay and Saw Myat Lay;[3] and three half-siblings.[note 2]
Though the royal chronicles do not state her place of birth, Myat Hpone Pyo was most probably born and raised in Prome where her father was governor between 1442 and 1446,[4] and raised in Tharrawaddy, the southernmost district of Prome to which her father was reassigned, from 1446 onwards to c. 1460.[5][4] The princess remained in Tharrawaddy as she was married off to the incoming governor, Thado Minsaw, the youngest son of then King Narapati I of Ava.[1] She had six children with Thado Minsaw, and died in Tharrawaddy.[2]
Myat Hpone Pyo and Thado Minsaw had three sons and three daughters, according to the chronicle Yazawin Thit.[2][note 3]
