List of Burmese consorts


This is a list of the queen consorts of the major kingdoms that existed in present-day Myanmar. Only the senior queens—i.e. those with the rank of Nan Mibaya —are listed.

Primer

Rankings of consorts

Prior to the Konbaung period, the consorts of the Burmese monarchs were organized in three general tiers: Nan Mibaya, Mibaya , and Kolottaw. Starting in the late 18th century, the Konbaung kings inserted the tiers of Hsaungdaw Mibaya and Shwe-Yay Hsaung Mibaya between the tiers of senior queen and junior queen.
Each tier had further rankings within it. The order of precedence within the topmost tier was:
RankTitleDescription
1.Nanmadaw Mibaya Khaunggyi or
Taung Nan Mibaya 		Chief Queen or
Queen of the Southern Palace
2.Myauk Nan Mibaya Queen of the Northern Palace
3.Ale Nan Mibaya Queen of the Central Palace
4.Anauk Nan Mibaya Queen of the Western Palace

Aside from a few rare exceptions, the Queen of the Southern Palace was the official chief queen consort. In theory, the chief queen consort alone had the right to a white umbrella and to sit with the King on the royal throne.

Names

The names of the queens, if known, are given according to their most well known common name, which often happens to be the primary name used by the royal chronicles. The chronicle reported names of the queens may be their popular/commonly known name ; formal title ; personal name ; or generic name of the office. Finally, the names of the queens with no known records are given as "".

Duration of consortship

The "Became consort" and "Ceased to be consort" dates indicate the period in which a given queen was in the role of royal consort—not the duration of marriage.
