Suriyothai (Thai: สุริโยทัย, Thai pronunciation: [sùʔ.ríʔ.jōː.tʰāj], Suriyodaya; Burmese: သူရိယောဒယ) was a royal queen consort during the 16th century Ayutthaya period of Siam (now Thailand). She is famous for having given up her life in the defense of her husband, King Maha Chakkraphat, in a battle during the Burmese–Siamese War (1547–1549).
