 Bagyidaw now scrapped the six- century-old Assamese monarchy and made Assam a province under a military governor-general.This differs with the Assamese versions of history where it is written that Bagyidaw installed Jogeswar Singha, a brother of Hemo Aideo, the Ahom princess who was married to Bodawpaya as the new Ahom king of Assam and a military governor-general was appointed to look after the administration.The defeated Assamese king fled to British territory of Bengal.
