Titles and rank in the Konbaung dynasty

The King was known by a variety of titles, including the following:

King's consorts

In the early days of the Konbaung Dynasty, Kings had at most, three Senior Queens.Шаблон:Sfn Innovations of a fourth Senior Queen and four lesser queens dated to the last quarter of the 1700s.Шаблон:Sfn

Queens of first rank (Senior Queens) were called Nanya MibayaШаблон:Sfn (Шаблон:My, lit. 'Queens who Possess Palaces'). The expansion and ranking of Senior Queens was an innovation during the reign of King Singu Min (1776-1782).Шаблон:Sfn In order of precedence, they were as follows:

  1. Supreme Royal Chief Queen (Шаблон:My, Nanmadaw Mibaya Hkaunggyi)Шаблон:Sfn or Royal Queen of the Southern Palace (Шаблон:My, Taung Nandaw Mibaya)Шаблон:Sfn - As the Supreme Chief Queen, she alone had the right to a white umbrella and to sit with the King on the royal throne. She was also variously known as Taung Nyazan (Шаблон:My), Ashin Nanmadaw Hpaya (Шаблон:My).Шаблон:Sfn and Nanmadaw (Шаблон:My)Шаблон:Sfn
  2. Royal Queen of the Northern Palace (Шаблон:My, Myauk Nandaw Mibaya)Шаблон:Sfn

There was a special position between Nanya Mibaya (first rank) and Ahsaungya Mibaya (second rank) named Nanzwe Mibaya (Шаблон:My), for the blue-blood sisters of the King, primed to become a Nanya Mibaya if any of them died. For example, when the first Anauk Nandaw Mibaya of King Mindon, Pintale Mibaya died, her sister Yinge Mibaya, one of the four Nanzwe Mibayas of King Mindon, was replaced as the second Anauk Nandaw Mibaya.[note 1] As they were the blue-blooded ones, they could not be given the position of ordinary queens. So they became Nanzwe Mibayas. This position was created only during the reign of a king who had many queens, such as Bodawpaya and Mindon Min.

Royal Queens of second rank were known as Ahsaungya Mibaya (Шаблон:My, lit. 'Queens who Possess Royal Apartments'). These ranks were created during the reign of King Tharrawaddy Min (1837-1846).Шаблон:Sfn In order of precedence, they were as follows:

  1. Royal Queen of the Southern Gilded Chamber (Шаблон:My, Myan Aung Taung Shweye Hsaung Mibaya)
  2. Royal Queen of the Northern Gilded Chamber (Шаблон:My, Myan Aung Myauk Shweye Hsaung Mibaya)
  3. Royal Queen of the Central Gilded Chamber (Шаблон:My, Myan Aung Ale Shweye Hsaung Mibaya)
  4. Royal Queen of the Western Gilded Chamber (Шаблон:My, Myan Aung Anauk Shweye Hsaung Mibaya)
