==King of Lanna== Setthathirath also known as Chaiyachettha or Chaiyaset or Jayajestha, Son of the King [[Photisarath]] of Lan Xang, he was crowned King of [[Lanna]] after the death of his grandfather, [[Ketklao]] the previous King of Lanna, who died without a male heir to the [[throne]] and gave his daughter Princess Yotkhamtip in marriage to his father King Photisarath of Lan Xang. When King Ketklao died, there was no other descendant available to succeed him. High-ranking officials and Buddhist monks therefore agreed unanimously to assign the Lanna throne to Prince Setthathirath in 1546. His name was lengthened to Chao Chaiyasetthathirath. In 1548 King Setthathirath (as King of Lanna) had taken [[Chiang Saen]] as his capital. Chiang Mai still had powerful factions at court, and the threats from Burma and Ayutthaya were growing.
