personPhraya Phichai of the Broken Sword
พระยาพิชัยดาบหัก · phraya phichai dap hak
Fought on with half a sword. The north's line is named for his home town.
Tmd · CC BY-SA 4.0What it is
A general of King Taksin, from Tha Sao in Uttaradit, said to have trained as a boxer before he was a soldier. Muay Thasao carries his name alongside the district's.
The long version
The epithet is the story: a sword broken in a fight he went on to win. His statue stands in Uttaradit with the broken blade in his hand.
Inference — the northern line has a hero and no technique list, and the southern line has a technique list and a governor's son with a printing press. Which of the two survived better is a question about publishing.
Connected to
- Muay Thasao The line named with him.
- Khet Sriyaphai The other side of the comparison.
Named here by
