Titles and naming conventions

[edit]
Further information:Thai royal ranks and titles

In theSukhothai Kingdom,the monarch used the titlePho Khun(Thai:พ่อขุน), and monarchs who reigned over the period of decline afterRam Khamhaeng the Greatused the titlePhraya(Thai:พญา).

In theAyutthaya Kingdomand afterward,thanandon,the system of Thai royal titles, determines the style of the monarch's fullregnal name(which includes the title), consisting of two interconnected parts:

  • The first part is the titlePhra Bat Somdet Phra Chao Yu Hua(Thai:พระบาทสมเด็จพระเจ้าอยู่หัว,'His Majesty the King'). The title is split by the regnal name, written betweenPhraandChao.If the monarch was not formallycrowned,Phra Batis omitted. If the monarch ruled as atributaryor wasusurped,Somdetmay be omitted.
    • Sometimes,Chao Yu Huais fully omitted. Other times, onlyYu Huais omitted, in which caseChaofollows the remaining components of the title and precedes the regnal name.
  • The second part is the regnal name, of which only a portion may be used to commonly refer to the monarch. It may differ from their birth name, their name asuparaja(viceroy), or theirposthumous nameand/or historical style. This list refers to monarchs by the names most often used by traditional historians.[1]

Western nationsreferred to the monarch as the "King of Siam" (Latin:Rex Siamensium), regardless of Thai titles, since the initiation of relations in the 16th century.Mongkut (Rama IV)was the first monarch to adopt the title when the nameSiamwasfirst used in an international treaty.[2]When the kingdom's name was changed to Thailand, the monarch's Western title changed accordingly.[3]

Sukhothai Kingdom (1238–1438)

[edit]
Further information:Sukhothai Kingdom

Tai peoplesmigrated into mainland Southeast Asia in the 8th–10th centuries.[4]In the years after,Northern Thaigroups establishedmueangthat evolved into larger states, such asNgoenyang.[5][6]However, it was not until the decline of theKhmer Empirein the 13th century that aCentral Thaikingdom politically and culturally related to modern Thailand was first founded.

Phra Ruang dynasty (1238–1438)

[edit]

The Phra Ruang dynasty was the only royal lineage that ruled over theSukhothai Kingdom,the first Central Thai state. Established bySi Inthrathitin 1238, who declared independence from the Khmer Empire, the dynasty laid the foundations for Thai society.[7]UnderRam Khamhaeng the Great,the initialThai scriptwas invented andTherāvada Buddhismwas established as the state religion.[8]: 197 [9]: 25 

The dynasty is named after theTraiphum Phra Ruang,aBuddhist cosmologybook written byMaha Thammaracha I.During his reign, the kingdom was invaded byAyutthaya,a neighboring Thai state, becoming atributaryduring the reign ofMaha Thammaracha II.[8]: 222 

In the Sukhothai Kingdom, the monarch ruled from the city ofSukhothai,while theheir presumptivewould occasionally be nameduparaja,orviceroy,and ruled inSi Satchanalai.In 1438, Ayutthaya annexed Sukhothai at the death ofMaha Thammaracha IVwhenBorommarachathirat IIof Ayutthaya named his sonPrince Ramesuanuparaja. In Ayutthaya, the tradition would evolve into theFront Palacesystem.[10]

Ayutthaya Kingdom (1351–1767)

[edit]
Further information:Ayutthaya Kingdom

The Aytthaya Kingdom was a result of a unification between two states: The Kingdom of Suphannaphum (Suphanburi) andThe Kingdom of Lavo.Though the Kingdom of Lavo was originally a Mon kingdom, the migration of the Tai peoples into the Chao Phraya basin replaced the original Mons, consequently becoming the governors of these regions. This resulted in the capital moving from Lavapura (Lopburi) and Suphannaphum (Suphanburi) to Ayodhya (Old Ayutthaya), a new capital.[16]Later on, the Kingdom of Nakhon si Thammarat came under the influence of Ayutthaya after seceding from Sukhothai, and Sukhothai losing influence and coming under Ayutthaya.

This conflict would last long into the history of Ayutthaya Kingdom where families from the four major regional kingdoms vie over the throne of the kingdom. These kingdoms are: Kingdom of Nakhon Si Thammarat, Kingdom of Sukhothai, Kingdom of Lavo, and Kingdom of Suphannaphum. The Kingdom of Sukhothai was integrated into the Kingdom of Ayutthaya along with its noble famlies.[17]
