Theinhko

Theinhko

Theinhko (also spelled Thein-kho) (died 931) was a ruler of the kingdom of Pagan in what is now Myanmar.

Son of the previous king Nga Khwe, he reigned for sixteen years. He was usurped by Nyaung-u Sawrahan. Theinhko was defeated in battle, and fleeing from the battlefield exhausted and thirsty he took a cucumber from a farmer's field and was killed by the farmer. The farmer was accepted as king by the queen to prevent unrest in the kingdom and became known as the "Cucumber King", "farmer king" or "Taung-thugyi Min". There is a similar story in Cambodian history and both stories may be mythical.
