The Last Queen Supayalat

Supayalat (Burmese: စုဖုရားလတ်, pronounced [sṵpʰəjá laʔ]; 13 December 1859 -- 24 November 1925) was the last queen of Burma who reigned in Mandalay (1878--1885), born to King Mindon Min and Queen of Alenandaw (literally Middle Palace, also known as Hsinbyumashin or Lady of the White Elephant).[1] The British corruption of her name was 'Soup Plate'.[2] She was married to her half-brother, Thibaw, who became the last king of the Konbaung dynasty in 1878, upon Mindon Min's death. She is best known for engineering a massacre of 80 to 100 royal family members, to prevent potential rivals from usurping Thibaw's power [3], although she had always denied any knowledge of the plot, which may have been hatched by her mother together with some of the ministers, including the chancellor Kinwon Min Gyi U Kaung.[

i've learned alot through this video, at 4:22 where Supayaji fought so that they can buried her husband body in burma. Did they allowed her to do that?

[novaskosia]

@tweety24122 No. King Thibaw's body was buried in Ratnagiri, India.
