Yadanabon (Burmese: ရတနာပုံ, in Burmese pronounced as /jədənàbòʊɴ/) was one of the two queens consort of King Thihathu of Pinya. She was also the mother of kings Saw Yun and Tarabya I of Sagaing.
The queen was a commoner from a small village called Linyin, located somewhere in the north. She may have been an ethnic Shan.[1] In 1298, she was a widow with a 1-year-old child travelling south when she met Thihathu, who was on a hunting trip. Thihathu, who had just founded the Myinsaing Kingdom with his two elder brothers, took her as a concubine. She gave birth to his first male child, Saw Yun, a year later. She remained a concubine until after she gave birth to a daughter, Saw Pale. She was raised to be the Queen of the Northern Palace.[2]
The queen's descendants include kings of Sagaing from Saw Yun to Tarabya II, as well as King Thado Minbya, the founder of Ava Kingdom.[3] Furthermore, chief queens consorts of Ava Shin Bo-Me and Shin Myat Hla were her descendants.[2]
