Naresuan the Great
1555 CE–1605 CE · Ayutthaya
Naresuan the Great (1555–1605) was a king of the Ayutthaya kingdom, ruling from 1590, who is celebrated for restoring Siamese independence from the Burmese Toungoo empire, which had reduced Ayutthaya to vassalage. His campaigns culminated in the Battle of Nong Sarai in 1593, famed in Thai tradition for an elephant duel in which he slew the Burmese crown prince, though modern historians treat the duel account with caution. He remains a national hero, commemorated annually by the Royal Thai Armed Forces.
