The new king who took power in 1404, Narameikhla, was immediately ousted by the forces of the Burmese king Pyinsing Mengswa, who captured Launggyet and forced Narameikhla to flee to the court of the Sultanate of Bengal at Gour.[7][8] During Narameikhla's 24-year exile, Arakan became an extensive battleground for the Ava Kingdom and the Pegu Kingdom.
