Minhlange (Burmese: မင်းလှငယ်, pronounced [mɪ́ɴ l̥a̰ ŋɛ̀]; 1418–1426) was the sixth king of Ava for three months in 1426. Minhlange was just about nine when he was made king.^[3] (He was likely 8+ years old. The traditional Burmese convention of age counting is one more than the Western convention. He was 8 years old, in his 9th year.) His father King Thihathu had been killed in an ambush by raiders from the Shan State of Hsipaw (Thibaw).^[4] The ambush was arranged by Thihathu's powerful queen Shin Bo-Me who wanted to place her lover, Kale Kyetaungnyo, the Saopha of Kale, on the throne. Three months later, Shin Bo-Me poisoned the young king, and made Kyetaungnyo king.^[5]
