Me Yun San (Burmese: မယ်ယွန်းစံ [mɛ̀ jʊ́ɰ̃ sàɰ̃]; 1713–1771) is the empress consort of King Alaungpaya of Burma (Myanmar), and the royal mother who gave birth to three kings of Konbaung Dynasty: Naungdawgyi, Hsinbyushin and Bodawpaya.[1] Alaungpaya had officially pronounced that all sons of Yun San would become kings in order of seniority. She is famous for her peace keeping efforts between her two eldest sons, Naungdawgyi and Hsinbyushin, regarding the succession to throne after Alaungpaya's death in 1760.[2] She died during Hsinbyushin's reign in 1771.
