Burma: King Thibaw and Queen Supayalat leaving Mandalay under British military escort,30 November,1885. Saya Chone, c. 1900.

Thibaw Min (1 January 1859 – 19 December 1916) was the last king of the Konbaung dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) and also the last in Burmese history. His reign ended when Burma was defeated by the forces of the British Empire in the Third Anglo-Burmese War, on 29 November 1885, prior to its official annexation on 1 January 1886. After abdicating the throne, Thibaw, his wife Supayalat and two infant daughters were exiled to Ratnagiri, India, a port city off the Arabian Sea. Supayalat (13 December 1859 – 24 November 1925) was the last queen of Burma who reigned in Mandalay (1878–1885), born to King Mindon Min and Queen of Alenandaw. Their reign lasted just seven years when Thibaw Min was defeated in the Third Anglo-Burmese War and forced to abdicate by the British in 1885. On 25 November 1885 they were taken away in a covered carriage, leaving Mandalay Palace by the southern gate of the walled city along the streets lined by British soldiers and their wailing subjects, to the River Irrawaddy where a steamboat awaited. Thibaw was 27 and Supayalat 26. After years of exile in India, Supayalat returned to Rangoon in 1919. She died six years later, in 1925 - shortly before her 66th birthday. Although the colonial government declared the day of her funeral a national holiday, the royal family's request for her to be buried in Mandalay was also refused. Her funeral was, however, held with pomp and ceremony as befitted a Burmese queen. Supayalat lies buried at the foot of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Kandawmin Gardens between the tombs of Aung San Suu Kyi's mother Khin Kyi and the former UN Secretary General U Thant.

Descripción:

Traducción automática: Thibaw Min (1 de enero de 1859 - 19 de diciembre de 1916) fue el último rey de la dinastía Konbaung de Birmania (Myanmar) y también el último en la historia de Birmania. Su reinado terminó cuando Birmania fue derrotada por las fuerzas del Imperio Británico en la Tercera Guerra Anglo-Birmana, el 29 de noviembre de 1885, antes de su anexión oficial el 1 de enero de 1886. Después de abdicar al trono, Thibaw, su esposa Supayalat y dos hijas pequeñas fueron exiliados a Ratnagiri, India, una ciudad portuaria frente al Mar Arábigo. Supayalat (13 de diciembre de 1859 - 24 de noviembre de 1925) fue la última reina de Birmania que reinó en Mandalay (1878-1885), hija del rey Mindon Min y la reina de Alenandaw. Su reinado duró sólo siete años, cuando Thibaw Min fue derrotado en la Tercera Guerra Anglo-Birmana y obligado a abdicar por los británicos en 1885. El 25 de noviembre de 1885 fueron llevados en un carruaje cubierto, dejando el Palacio de Mandalay por la puerta sur de la ciudad amurallada a lo largo de las calles llenas de soldados británicos y sus súbditos que lloraban, hasta el río Irrawaddy, donde los esperaba un barco de vapor. Thibaw tenía 27 años y Supayalat 26. Después de años de exilio en la India, Supayalat regresó a Rangún en 1919. Murió seis años después, en 1925, poco antes de cumplir 66 años. Aunque el gobierno colonial declaró el día de su funeral como fiesta nacional, la petición de la familia real de que fuera enterrada en Mandalay también fue rechazada. Su funeral, sin embargo, se celebró con pompa y ceremonia como correspondía a una reina birmana. Supayalat está enterrado al pie de la Pagoda Shwedagon en los Jardines Kandawmin, entre las tumbas de la madre de Aung San Suu Kyi, Khin Kyi, y del ex Secretario General de la ONU, U Thant.
