Maria Guyomar de Pinha became the darling of this kingdom's court after introducing them to the wonder of custard-based desserts, but was later enslaved after the execution of her husband in a coup by its xenophobic ruler Phetracha. That husband, Constantine Phaulkon, led Louis XIV's delegation to King Narai of this state, which adopted the mandala political model under Trailok, who became the first "King of the White Elephants." This state defeated the Burmese Taungoo dynasty under elephant-riding conqueror Naresuan, and entered into a union with nearby Sukhothai. It gave way to the short-lived Thonburi kingdom under Taksin, which itself was supplanted by the Chakri dynasty. For 10 points, name this predecessor of modern Thailand that ruled from 1351 to 1767.
