King Nanda was the king of the Taungoo dynasty of Myanmar whose reign (1581-99) ended with the dismemberment of the empire established by his father. Bayinnaung. Upon coming to the throne. Nanda Bayin was faced with a rebellion of his uncle. the viceroy of Inwa. whom he defeated three years later. In December 1584 Nanda Bayin marched into Siam. which had been a vassal of his father. to subjugate the Siamese patriot Naresuan.

For the next three years he sent several armies into the Chao Phraya river valley. but Naresuan defeated all of them. The Siamese then went on the offensive. taking Dawei and Tanintharyi in 1593. Nanda Bayin's troubles were compounded when another group of his father's subject peoples in southern Myanmar revolted and invited the Siamese to occupy Martaban and Mawlamyaing on the Thanlwin River. In 1595 Nanda Bayin was obliged to retreat to Bago and defend the city from a Siamese attack.

In 1599 Nanda Bayin's brothers. the viceroys of Taungoo. Pyay. and Inwa. revolted and. after inviting the king of Rakhine to join in the fray. besieged bago. took Nanda Bayin prisoner. and dismembered the last remnants of Bayinnaung's empire. Nanda Bayin's reign had been a series of catastrophes. but this was due less to a lack of energy and initiative on his part than to the overreaching ambition of his father. who had built an empire too large to govern.
