Thettawshay of Myedu (, ; also spelled Thettawshe;Aung-Thwin 2017: 79 ) was governor of Myedu at least from the early 1410s until 1415. He participated in the Ava–Hanthawaddy War (1408–1418), and was killed in action at the battle of Dala on 13 March 1415 alongside Crown Prince Minye Kyawswa.
Military service The following is a list of campaigns in which the lord of Myedu is mentioned in the chronicles. A discrepancy exists regarding Thettawshay's tenure: If he became governor only in 1413 as the Hmannan Yazawin states, then the prior battles must have been led by his unnamed predecessor.
