Ruling Years : A.D (1077 - 1084)
King Sawlu ascended the throne after his father's
death (King Anawrahta) in 1077. King Sawlu had a son called Prince
Sawyun.
King Sawlu never left a successor to his throne. King
Sawlu trusted his follower Ngeya Mankan and granted him as the governor
of Bago Hantharwaddi. But he was betrayed and was captured by his
follower. When Kyansitthar came to rescue him, King Sawlu shouted and
thought Ngeya Mankan would help him.
So Kyanzittha left King Sawlu. But instead King Sawlu
was killed by Ngeya Mankan. Then the Bago Hantharwaddi war against Bagan
began. Kyanzittha defeated the enemies and became the King of Bagan.
