Theinhko (Burmese: ????????; also Theinkho, pronounced [?éi?k?ò]; c. 918–959) was a king of Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) who reigned for 16 years. Although Burmese chronicles state that he reigned from 915 to 931, the actual reign, deduced from King Anawrahta's year of ascension, 1044, was likely between 943 and 959. (Much of the information given in Burmese chronicles prior to Anawrahta's reign are unreliable or legendary.)
According to the legend, Theinhko was a son of the previous king, Sale Ngahkwe, and ascended the throne at age 25.[1] At age 41, Theinhko was killed by a farmer, Nyaung-u Sawrahan, from whose farm he took a cucumber. The king had been on the run from rebel forces, and was exhausted and thirsty. The farmer was accepted as king by the queen to prevent unrest in the kingdom and became known as the "Cucumber King", "farmer king" or Taungthugyi Min.[2] There is a similar story in Cambodian history and both stories may be mythical.
I guess you could say, before the farmer killed him, he was in a real pickle.
