Book excerpt: When the kingdom of Pagan declined politically in the late 13th and early 14th centuries, its territory devolved into three centres of power and a period of transition occurred. Then two new kingdoms arose: the First Ava Dynasty in Upper Myanmar and the First Pegu Dynasty in Lower Myanmar. Their story is the only missing piece in Myanmar's mainstream historiography, a gap this work is designed to fill.
