E Daeng Phloeng
King of Sukhothai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
E Daeng Phloeng (Thai: อีแดงเพลิง) was a 13th-century monarch mentioned in the Wat Si Chum Inscription as a ruler of the Sukhothai Kingdom.[1][2]: 115 [3]: 17 His political authority appears to have been confined predominantly to the territorial bounds of the ancient Sukhothai site, extending westward toward Mueang Rahaeng (เมืองระแหง), which corresponds to the present-day Mueang Tak district.[4] The precise identification of E Daeng Phloeng, including his historical role and leadership position, remains a subject of scholarly debate,[1] with phonetic analyses indicating a possible Mon origin.[5]

In 1219, E Daeng Phloeng was overthrown by Sri Naw Nam Thom, a Tai monarch from Mueang Chaliang, who subsequently established dual sovereignty over Mueang Chaliang and Sukhothai.[2]: 115 Following this event, Sri Naw Nam Thom appointed his son, Pha Mueang, as ruler of Mueang Rad (เมืองราด),[2]: 115 the exact location of which remains debatable, potentially in the present-day Lom Sak district.[6] The kingdom under the lead of Sri Naw Nam Thom and Pha Mueang significantly expanded by consolidating several other polities.[2]: 115
