History UnwrittenThe Tale of Khun Chang and Khun PhaenThe Tale of Khun Chang and Khun Phaen is the seminal work in Thai classical literature. The romance between Khuns Chang and Phaen and the female love interest Wanthong are our window into Ayutthayan gender and social class. While what we find may be disagreeable to modern sensibilities, we are nonetheless compelled to bear witness and learn more - to better understand the era in question.

2022-04-1532 minHistory Unwritten3.17 - An Age of CultureThe reigns of Thai Sa and Borommakot were peaceful and prosperous. The half-century before the city's fall thus became a golden age for art, literature and religion.

2022-03-2531 minHistory Unwritten3.16 - Phetracha & the Tiger KingNo, not that one. The Ban Phlu Luang, founded by the usurper Phetracha, would be Ayutthaya's last. They oversaw an era of social upheaval which fundaentally altered Thai society. Their first two kings, if the chronicles are to be believed, were cruel and violent men, though, and the bane of decency. Series website
2022-03-1128 minHistory Unwritten3.15 - The Revolution of 1688Half a world away, four months before the famous "Glorious Revolution" another revolution had taken place in Siam. King Narai, bereft of an heir, had perhaps bequeathed too much power to his Greek minister, Constantine Phaulkon. Soon, irate court ministers would rally against the minister - and his French allies.

2022-02-0719 minHistory Unwritten3.13 - Phra NaraiNarai "the Great" is Ayutthaya's most famous King outside of Thailand. But he cuts an unusual figure, breaking with the pattern of his predecessors. Warlike to a degree not seen since Naresuan, and unconcerned with tradition, he followed his own desires and interests. Foreign visitors and communities in Ayutthaya never found a firmer friend than King Narai. Indeed, it was by their aid that he came to the throne at all. Persians, Japanese, Malays, Dutch and Chinese were rewarded for service or simply for their friendship to the King. In time, this would bring about momentous chaos. But for...

2021-12-1853 minHistory Unwritten3.11 - The Golden Tower KingThe early 17th century was an age of contradictions - peace abroad and prosperity at home contrasted with political intrigue and civil wars upon the death of kings. Illustrative of this was the coup of King Prasat Thong - "Golden Tower" - a distant relative who utilized wealth and influence to steal the throne for himself. Series Website
2021-11-1942 minHistory Unwritten3.10 - The Age of CommerceNaresuan's death spells the death of the Age of Warfare. In its place: the Age of Commerce.

2021-11-0529 minHistory Unwritten3.9 - The Black PrinceThe Age of Warfare dies with King Naresuan. The final years of his reign were marked by the reestablishment of Ayutthayan supremacy across the region. Old vassals were restored to subservience, trade routes were brought back under central control, and rebels were snuffed out in an instant. But King Naresuan garnered a reputation for being quick to anger, cruel and merciless. His epithet "The Black Prince" reveals much of his perception then and now. Indeed, the Age of Warfare was as much a rejection of his brand of kingship as it was a natural phenomenon. ...

But that puppet would not sit dormant. He rebuilt the city, drove off attackers from Cambodia, and prepared the way for an Ayutthayan resurgence. But this is not, really, his story. The liberation of Ayutthaya would not have happened without the capable leadership of Prince - then King - Naresuan, the "Black Prince" of Ayutthayan history. Though cruel, abrasive, and obsessed with war, Naresuan would free his country from the Burmese once and for...

2021-10-061h 30History Unwritten3.7 - Wheel Turning KingsSoutheast Asia in the 16th century was a playground for ambitious kings hoping to build their empires. The kings of Ayutthaya, Burma, Lan Xang and Cambodia vied for dominance - to become a Chakkavatti - a "Wheel Turning King" from Buddhist philosophy. From the many, only one would stand victorious. The question is: Who would it be? And what would become of the losers? Series Website
2021-09-2455 minHistory Unwritten3.6 - An Age of WarfareA brief lull in the fighting presents an opportunity to discuss the Ayutthayan military in the so-called Age of Warfare. The reforms of Trailokanat and his successors enabled the kingdom to muster larger armies than ever before. The result was greater bloodshed, longer wars and widespread suffering. Little more than a half century after Trailok's death, tragedy would befall Ayutthaya as a direct result of this Age of Warfare. Series Website
2021-09-1028 minHistory Unwritten3.5 - The Transformation of AyutthayaIn 1448 King Trailokanat ascended to the Ayutthayan throne. His 40 year reign would see Ayutthaya transformed from just-another-Muang city state to a centralized, autocratic kingdom. Bolstered by intensifying commerce, his armies would fan out across the Northern Cities in a great war with Lan Na, expanding Ayutthaya's borders and forcing the city to expand its bureaucracy to meet the needs of administration.

The history of Ayutthaya begins with the peopling of the Indochinese Peninsula, ca. 40,000 years ago. Since then, the development of agriculture, metalworking and urbanization led to the rise of states and kingdoms. Before we learn about Ayutthaya, we have to set the stage for its emergence.

2021-04-241h 14History Unwritten2.18 - The Final Dharma KingRalpachen, son of Sadnalegs, was the last Dharma king - and the last Buddhist Tsenpo - of a united Tibetan Empire. His reign is remembered for his religious contributions, but his death did as much to define Tibet as his life. Series Website
2021-04-1632 minHistory Unwritten2.17 - Fragments of KnowledgeIn which we look at legal and medical knowledge in the Tibetan Empire. Tibet was a litigious society, and to remedy this, widespread use of contracts, legal documents and complex civil and criminal codes were used in order to make sense of it all. Combined with the deep medical traditions, borrowing from three distinct backgrounds, the Tibetan Empire's framework of knowledge - far more than any table of ranks for the ministers - was deeply intertwined with the average person's life.

2021-04-0236 minHistory Unwritten2.16 - The Sons of Trisong DetsenTrisong Detsen, Second Dharma King of Tibet, is not long for the world. But of the four sons who he fathered, who would succeed him? One died a premature death, another exiled for a vile act, still another a hopeless dreamer, and the last too young to take up the throne. Tibet would see its first Tsenpos raised in the Buddhist faith in the early 9th century. Even more committed to the religion than their father had been, they sought to cement the Dharma's legacy in their country, permanently. Check out the series page on...

Buddhism is complicated, too much so to truly cover in just 40 minutes. But we do our best to lay the foundation of a faith so often misunderstood by western observers. Check out the series page, including glossary of terms, maps, gallery and bibliography.
2021-02-1940 minHistory Unwritten2.13 - The Second Dharma KingTrisong Detsen is Tibet's second - and most famous - Dharma King. How did he acquire this title? It wasn't for his military achievements, the conquest of Chang'an or victories over the Chinese. No, he earned the appellation because he solidified Buddhism's hold over the country. Trisong Detsen is credited with building Tibet's first monastery and hosting a Great Debate there in 792. Today, we cover the religious activities of this most famous of Tsenpos.
2021-02-0530 minHistory Unwritten2.12 - The Snow Lion, TriumphantThe Tibetan flag, adorned with the celestial Snow Lion, flies above the cities of the Tarim Basin once again. Over the 40 years of Trisong Detsen's reign, he took the Tibetan Empire from its lowest to its highest point. The signs were clear from the earliest days, as the Tang Empire descended into chaos with the An Lushan rebellion, the Tsenpo sent his armies to capture the capital of China itself, Chang'an.
2021-01-2228 minHistory Unwritten2.11 - The Buddhist ContentionThe young Trisong Detsen is alone in his gilded cage. Having survived a violent coup that claimed his father's life, he must now contend - at the ripe age of 15 - with the greatest struggle since Tibet's unification. A battle for the soul of Tibet, waged between the anti-Buddhists and the followers of the Dharma. How will the new Tsenpo wage this war? How will he contend with scheming ministers, and mighty mystics? Answers to this and more in our first of three episodes on Tibet's second Dharma King.
2021-01-0844 minHistory Unwritten2.10 - The Royal CourtIn which we break to study the Tibetan royal family and imperial court. The men and women following the Tsenpo's mobile city were integral to our story, it's important we spend some time getting to know them.
2020-12-1135 minHistory Unwritten2.9 - The Breaking PointIn which tensions break at home and abroad for the Tibetans. On the domestic front, conflicts over religion and culture result in the expulsion of the Chinese and two coup attempts. Internationally, the three Asian Great Powers break into total war over the Silk Road. In the middle, Tibet finds itself on the losing side of nearly every conflict. But, as the saying goes, it's always darkest just before the dawn. And Tibet is on the verge of a glorious, century-long golden age, if it can survive...

Meanwhile, in the east, the Tang prepared to make war, even while negotiating a marriage alliance with the new Tsenpo. And in the west, a new player emerged from the deserts of Arabia.
