On a campaign to conquer Siam, King Alaungpaya of Burma led a massive force which besieged the capital Ayutthaya, 50 miles north of modern Bangkok, held by Prince Uthumphon for King Borommaracha. Unable to breach the city’s defences in the wet season, Alaungpaya was mortally hit and died on the march home. His son Hsinbyushin took the city seven years later.
