Min Hti of Arakan
Min Hti (Arakanese: မင်းထီး; c. 1270s – c. 1373/74; Minhti or Mindi) was king of Launggyet Arakan from c. 1279 to 1373/74. He is best known for being the longest reigning monarch in history, although the exact length of his reign is unknown. He became the king at a young age after his father Min Bilu was assassinated by Sithabin I of Arakan. According to the Arakanese chronicles, he reigned for 106 years while one British colonial era scholar estimated it to be about 95 years. The Guinness Book of World Records, however, recognizes it as the longest "reputed" reign.
