The Kings of Ayutthaya synopsis

Part of reality, part of fiction, part myth, and legend, this book brings to life the kingdom of Ayutthaya from its roots in the kingdom of Sukhothai to its eventual destruction by the Burmese in 1767. It is the troubled story of both kings and their kingdom, from birth to fall .

Robert Smith recreates this history by re-imagining and dramatizing the exploits of the Ayutthaya rulers, and building his account around a framework of documentary evidence and hints in the historical record. Pledges and deception winds through the tale as it does creativity, honor, and will to the greatness that has made Ayutthaya a major regional power for centuries.

This novel about the development of the nation and the stories behind it shows how the ancient kingdom of Ayutthaya was a decisive indicator of the establishment of Thailand in modern times.
