He was a son of king Anouruttha.[1] In 1791, he was appointed as heir presumptive to the Luang Phrabang throne with the title Raxavong by Siamese.[citation needed] He was crowned by Siamese at the age of 43.[1] From 1825 to 1826 he joint the monkhold in Bangkok,[1] leaving his country to be administered by Siamese officials.[citation needed] In 1826, he refused to join Anouvong's Rebellion against Siamese. He died on 7 March 1837.[1] Siamese did not confirm his son to succeed the throne until 1839.[1]
