Hsawnghsup was one of the outlying Shan princely states in what is today Burma.
The village of Thaungdut (Hsawnghsup) was formerly the residence of the Sawbwa of Hsawnghsup State. The capital is in the upper end of the Kabaw Valley.[1]
History[]
Hsawnghsup state was founded in 1757; the first ruler was Sao Kan Po. Little is known of the history of the state before it was annexed to British Burma except that it had been a vassal state of the Kingdom of Burma.[1]
Hsawnghsup formed an exclave located to the northwest of the Shan States, within the Upper Chindwin District of British Burma and bound to the west by the princely state of Manipur. Most of the territory of the state was dense forest.[1] In 1886 the ruler of Hsawnghsup remained loyal to the British during the rebellion of the prince of Wuntho.[2]
Rulers[]
The rulers of Hsawnghsup bore the title of Saopha.[3]
