Bayinnaung died in 1581. Crown Prince Nanda succeeded his father as the king of Pegu and appointed his first son Minchit Sra as the Crown Prince. Thatominthaw the King of Ava (Nanda Bayin’s brother-in-law), however, didn’t attend the coronation audience due to the crown prince’s treatment to the crown princess who was Thatominthaw’s daughter. Nanda Bayin was enraged at the inobedience of his brother-in-law, ordered the massacre of people supporting the King of Ava, and prepared a full-scale war against Ava.
