In this Burmese name, Saw is an honorific, not a given name.

Saw Taw Oo (Burmese: စောတော်ဦး, pronounced [sɔ́ dɔ̀ ʔú]) was a queen consort of King Swa Saw Ke of Ava. She was the daughter of King Thihapate of Sagaing, a granddaughter of King Saw Yun, the founder of Sagaing, and a half-sister of King Thado Minbya, the founder of Ava. She was raised to be a queen of Swa Saw Ke with the title of Queen of the Central Palace, succeeding her half-sister Saw Omma. The queen was also given Pagan (Bagan) in fief.[2]

According to a contemporary inscription, the queen donated a monastery in Wetkyi-In, and dedicated paddy farmland to the monastery in October 1396.[a]

Ancestry

The following is her ancestry according to Hmannan. She was descended from Pagan and Pinya royalty. Her father's lineage is not reported except that he was not of royal blood and that he was a grandnephew of Queen Pwa Saw of Pagan.[4]

Notes

  1. ^ The dedication ceremony was held on Monday, the 5th waxing of Tazaungmon 758 ME.[3] The date can be conventionally translated as Thursday, 5 October 1396. If it was indeed on a Monday, the date may have been the 2nd waxing of Tazaungmon 758 ME (Monday, 2 October 1396). The Burmese numerals ၂ (2) and ၅ (5) have similar shapes, and can be misread/miscopied.
