Born in Phitsanulok , Naresuan was taken captive by the Burmese to ensure the fidelity of his father Maha Tammaraja, who became king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom after it was occupied by the Burmese in 1569 . After spending nine years of his youth at Pegu under the protection of the Burmese King, Burinnaung the Great, Naresuan was exchanged with his sister Princess Suparntevi when he was 16 years old, and became governor of Phitsanulok. He was highly trained by the Burmese King in martial arts, literature, mitilary strategies and became as one of the Princes in the Burmese Palace. In 1584 , 3 years after Burmese King Burinnaung's death in 1581 , the tributary relation with Burma was cancelled, which was inevitably followed by a vigorous attack by the Burmese army. Naresuan fought back against the attack, and in 1586 he occupied Lanna , a Buffer State between the two kingdoms. 1590 the king died, and Naresuan officially became the leader of the kingdom. 1591 the Burmese started another attack, which was cancelled when the Burmese crown prince Minchit Sra was killed by Naresuan in personal combat on elephant back in Nong Sarai ( Suphanburi ). The following year Naresuan himself attacked Tenasserim , as well as Cambodia in 1593 . According to Prince became his successor as king. |
