2009)| Khamtum was the fifth king of Lan Xang (Laos) (ruled
1429). His mother was Nang Keo Phimpha, sister of the late king,
Samsenthai. Khamtum succeeded Phommathat, his second cousin,
after his mother beheaded Phommathat. Before he was king he was
Governor of Pak Houy Luang, so Khamtum was referred to as "King
Pak Houy Luang". After only 5 months on the throne he was forced
to abdicate. He was succeeded by Meunsai. |King of Lan Xang
