Death
In 1694, he died and was heirless. He had 2 sons, the eldest one was executed for adultery and the other son, who fled to Ayudhya with his mother, step-mother and 600 followers in February 1686, after his father ordered their execution because he was found to be co-habiting with his half-sister with their full knowledge. This was a chaotic time in Laos history where it completely collapsed with the kingdom spliting into 3 new kingdoms, Vientiane, Luang Phrabang and Kingdom of Champasak.
