3. Her father may have been Thihathu of Pagan, the only offspring of Uzana and Thonlula mentioned in the royal chronicles (although chronicles do not explicitly say that Thihathu was the only child of the royal couple.) If Thihathu was her father, who was executed probably between May and November 1256 per (Than Tun 1964: 134–135), she must have been born in or before 1257 at the latest.
