Anaukpetlun (Burmese: အနောက်ဖက်လွန် [ʔənaʊʔ pʰɛʔ lʊ̀ɴ]; 1578–1628) was the sixth king of Toungoo dynasty of Burma, and was largely responsible for restoring Burmese kingdom after it had famously collapsed at the end of 16th century. In his 22-year reign between 1606 and 1628, Anaukpetlun completed the reunification efforts of the Burmese kingdom begun by his father King Nyaungyan. Having inherited a partial kingdom comprising mainly Upper Burma and Shan States from his father Nyaungyan, Anaukpetlun went on to reconquer, Lanna in the east, and in the south, Lower Burma from rival Burmese factions and the Portuguese, as well as the Upper Tenasserim from the Siamese. The kingdom was known as Restored Toungoo Dynasty or Nyaungyan Dynasty.
Officially styled as Maha Dhamma Yaza, Anaukpetlun was a grandson of Bayinnaung. Both of his parents were children of Bayinnaung, half-brother and half-sister.[2] In March 1606, Nyaungyan died during his campaign against the Shans. Anaukpetlun then inherited the Kingdom of Ava that included all north of Pagan along the Irrawaddy and the Shan states.
Anaukpetlun pursued his campaigns to unify the Burmese kingdom. In 1608, he took the Kingdom of Prome, installing his brother Thalun as the King of Prome. And in 1610 took Toungoo from Nat Shin Naung and forced the Toungoo king to swear loyalty. However, Filipe de Brito the Portuguese ruler of Syriam marched to Toungoo and captured Nat Shin Naung as captive to Syriam. Anaukpetlun then marched the Ava armies and fleets to capture Syriam and rescued the King of Toungoo but faced Rakhine opportunistic invasions. He was able to counter the Rakhine fleets and took the port of Syriam in 1613, though Nat Shin Naung had already died. Anaukpetlun took the European captives to Ava and Pegu – where they were known as Bayingyi and served as gunners for the Burmese armies later.
Anaukpetlun proceeded on to subjugate the Mon state, taking Martaban, Tavoy, and Tenasserim (the last one from the Siamese, temporarily) by 1616. In 1617, Anaukpetlun decided to make Pegu the capital of his dominions so he crowned himself as the King of Pegu that year. In 1624, Anaukpetlun sent his brother Thalun to curb the rebellion of Lanna Chiang Saen and in 1625 at Nan.
Anaukpetlun was murdered in 1628 by his son Minyedeippa who had relationships with one of Anaukpetlun's concubines and feared the possible punishments. Minyedeippa held the throne for a short time before being purged by Thalun in 1629.
