According to the Maha Yazawin chronicle, her first marriage was to Prince Thihathu, her first cousin six years her junior. The marriage, arranged by her uncle King Minkhaung I, soon ended in divorce. The king then married her off to Saw Shwe Khet.[4] However, the chronicle Yazawin Thit rejects that the marriage between Saw Min Htut and Thihathu ever took place, citing a 1415/16 stone inscription.[note 1] The Hmannan Yazawin accepts the Yazawin Thit's rejection.[2]
According to the inscription, Hla Htut married Saw Shwe Khet in 1403/04. They had their child, Shin Yun, c. 1408.[note 2] Shin Yun later became wife of Gov. Min Maha of Prome.[2]
Ancestry
Hla Htut was a granddaughter of King Swa Saw Ke of Ava, and ultimately descended from the Pagan royalty.
^The Yazawin Thit cites a 777 ME (1415/16 CE) inscription which states that Min Htut and Shwe Khet were married in 765 ME (1403/04) when Thihathu (b. 1394) was at most nine years old. This means Thihathu would have been even younger if Hla Htut and Thihathu were married prior to 1403/04.[1]
^Shin Yun was in her seventh year (aged six) at the time of the inscription (in 1415/16).[1][2]
