Borommarachathirat II orBorom Rachathirat II (Thai:บรมราชาธิราชที่ ๒), also known asKing Samphraya (Thai:เจ้าสามพระยา) (1386–1448), was a king ofAyutthaya. His reign saw its early expansions.
He was a son ofIntharacha who had finally taken the Ayutthayan throne for theSuphannaphum Dynasty. He had two elder brothers: Prince Aiphraya and Prince Yiphraya; and was appointed by his father to governChainat (Phitsanulok's old name).
In 1424, Intharacha died. His two brothers marched from their respective cities to Ayutthaya for the throne. They fought on elephants in single combat and both died, leaving the throne to Samphraya. In 1433 Samphraya led Siamese forces to subjugateCambodia plunderingAngkor Thom. This assault eventually caused the Khmers to abandon Angkor and to relocate their capital further south-east.[1]: 29
And he ordered theNakhonin to rule inCambodia. Later, the Nakhonin died, he appointed the Prince of Phrak, his another son to reign in Cambodia. But the prince was assassinated byPonhea Yat. Therefore allowing Ponhea Yat to become king instead of the prince. After that, Ponhea Yat moved the capital toChaktomuk. To escape the influence of Siam, and wanting to move the center closer to the sea to further promote maritime trade.
The conquest, however, brought in a large influx ofKhmer culture and traditions into the Siamese court. For example, the high reverence of Thai kingship as a deity, known asDevaraja, came from Cambodia.
King Sam Phraya also sought northward expansion. He married a daughter of the vassal Prince ofSukhothai, Maha Tammaraja IV, and had a son, who will grow up to bePrince Ramesuan.[1]: 31 When the last king of Sukhothai died in 1446, his grandson inherited the kingdom, further strengthening Ayutthaya control over Sukhothai.
In 1442, Chao Sam Phraya led his armies to conquerLanna. He managed to sack the capitalChiang Mai but was unable to conquer the kingdom.
Chao Sam Phraya died in 1448 and was succeeded by his son Prince Ramesuan asTrilokanat.[1]: 31
