History

[edit]

Wanmaw (Bhamo) was the name and capital (royal seat) of a relatively major one of the petty Shan (ethnic Tai) principalities, ruled by a saopha (Burmese: sawbwa; Shan-prince of the highest rank), since that state was founded in 1470 until its annexation in 1772 by the Ava-based kingdom of Burma, which had occupied it previously in 1669-1685 and 1767–1770.[2]
