Khamkhat


Barom Reameathibtei (Khmer: បរមរាមាធិបតី; Thai: บรมรามาธิบดี, RTGSBorom Ramathibodi; literally "Supreme Overlord Rama"), also known as Barom Reamea (Khmer: បរមរាមា; Thai: บรมรามา, RTGSBorom Rama; literally "Supreme Rama") and Damkhat (Khmer: ដំខាត់; Thai: คำขัด, RTGSKhamkhat), was a king of the Khmer Empire.

Damkhat was a son of the younger sister of Srei Soriyovong (ស្រីសុរិយោវង្ស), a king of the Khmer Empire, which the Ayutthaya Kingdom had previously attacked and made its vassal state. The Khmer Chronicle of Ang Eng (KCAE) states that Srei Soriyovong had one elder sister and one younger sister. The elder sister gave birth to a son called In Reachea (ឥន្ទរាជា), or In Racha (อินทราชา) in Thai. The younger sister gave birth to two sons, Damkhat and Kaeo Fa (แก้วฟ้า), respectively. Srei Soriyovong intended to abdicate in favour of his eldest grandson, In Reachea. Damkhat then killed In Reachea. Srei Soriyovong later declared a senior noble titled Khun Thep Montri (ขุนเทพมนตรี) the heir to the throne. Damkhat also killed Khun Thep Montri. Srei Soriyovong therefore handed over the throne to Damkhat.
