Of other under L (identity TaïLao or Lao, under the direction of Khun Borom (Piluoge), still king of Nan Chao, towards 730 apr.

kingdom of Lao Lane-Xang (Muaong Xieng Dong Xieng Thong)

from 757 to 1707.

“Lane-Xang” is the old name of “Laos”, before 1893, the year when France colonized officially this Kingdom weakened by the invasions of the countries bordering. The territory of Lane-Xangenglobait all the provinces of the North-East and the North of current Thaïland, Laos, an Eastern part of Burma, Sip-Song-Banna in Yunnan Chinese, Sip-Song-Chau-taï in Western Tonkin, with the limit of the red river, a province of the North of Kampuchea, Konton, Methoua and Darlac.

Laos is one of the parts of the old Kingdom of Lane-Xang, detached free-Siamese, Franco-Chinese, Franco-English, free-Vietnameses signed towards the end of the 19è century and the beginning of the 20è century.

By these treaties, the Lao people had lost most of the territory of Lane-Xang to the profit of his more aggressive neighbors.

$ 780…? Reign of Khun Sung. After its death, there are 16 successive Princes on the throne as follows:

1. Khun DEK. 2. Khun Khoune. 3. Khun Khûn. 4. Khun Khab. 5. Khun Khao. 6. KhunKhane.

(“Thao” titrates honorary conferred to the national heroes, to the kings or to the prince as from the time of Lane-Xang).

From the reign of Thao Phat, Lane-Xang completely cuts the relation traditional with Nan Chao, Kingdom-mother, under the Mongolian domination. Nan Chao does not exist any more that of name and the dynasty of Nan Chao controlled by kings Aï Lao comes to a end into 902. From this year the population of Nan Chao is under the foreign dynasty (“end of the dynasty of Aï Lao de Nan Chao”).

very interesting, while i understand the emphasis on the kings, I m very curious about the local dynasties such as champassak and ponsawan areas or chiang saen (not to mention those of isan). I think these rich local traditions have a tendencies to be underestimated in favor of the more 'metropolitan' that managed to become seats of 'modern' governments.

Your data also suggests early and strong interaction with the Mons and Khmers in today's southern vietnam and modern day cambodia proper.

Do you have some data on the temples east of savannaket? I once visited one and I had trouble to make sense of the architecture, I mean some elements and statues. Guide books for cambodia and Isan are simply junk. The only good thing about the lonely planet is that it keeps a certain crowd away from isan rather than enticing them to visit.

May I add Suvannakhomkham Kingdom? I am quite fascinated by it, although it was probably too much North to count as today-Isaan?

please do, i think many of us are starved for additional information but a little lazy to pull it up on our own. We might even get some ideas for our next trip and places t o visit.

Thanks for the information also, as i travel to these different places, it's very nice to know the local history as mentioned above, and not get the nationalistic view of it.

it truly give u a sense of whats around you,

as for Champaske Kingdom, i believe, so correct me if im wrong, is merely a kingdom more recent that was created after Lanchang broke up into 2 kingdoms, after the King had died, which were Loungprabang and Vientiane;

Champaske Kingdom was born when the nobles in Vientiane fought to who should rule the vientiane part of what was formly apart of Lanchang, and a bunch of the vientiane noble split town, went down south and create Champaske. well thats the short of it,
