Ayutthaya Kingdom (1351–1767)

U-thong dynasty (1351–1370)

The U-thong dynasty was originated by U-thong, a local ruler in central Thailand whose origin is disputed. In 1351, he founded the city of Ayutthaya on the Chao Phraya River, establishing the kingdom of the same name; he reigned with the regnal title of Ramathibodi I.

First reign ended when he was usurped his uncle, the king of Suphan Buri, who would rule in Ayutthaya as Borommarachathirat I

Suphannaphum dynasty (1370–1388)

Ayutthaya was closely connected to and in conflict with the neighboring city of Suphan Buri, ruled by another branch of the family that Ramathibodi I (and thus, the U-thong dynasty) descended from. The Suphannaphum dynasty ruled only in Suphan Buri until Borommarachathirat I usurped Ramesuan in 1370 and unified the two polities.

The dynasty is named for the city, which was founded by the Dvaravati Kingdom as Dvaravati Sri Suvarnabhumi. Some historical scholars believe this etymology is evidence of Dvaravati being the legendary Suvarnabhumi ("Land of Gold") of Indian legend (and the Golden Chersonese of classical Western cartography).
