Ādiŧyavoṇś

Ādiŧyavoṇś

His Majesty King Ādiŧyavoṇś (full Thai title: สมเด็จพระอาทิตยวงศ์; RTGS: "Somdet Phra Athittayawong") (born 1618) was the 23rd monarch of Ayuthia (or 24th if including Khun Vạravoṇśādhirāj) who reigned for a period of 38 days in the year 1629. He was the second son of King Droṇdharm and the younger brother of King Jēṣṭhādhirāj and so was of the House of Sukhōday. When the previous ruler King Jēṣṭhādhirāj died, Minister for Defence Suriyavoṇś (สุริยวงศ์; "Suriyawong") installed Ādiŧyavoṇś on the throne despite his being only ten years of age, with Suriyavoṇś seeing to the king's affairs in his stead. However in less than a month court nobles and officials found the king too young to oversee the affairs of state and removed him from the throne, thereby declaring Suriyavoṇś take his place as reigning monarch as King Ҏrāsāddạṇ.
