His Majesty King 'Ādiŧyavoṇś' (full
Thai title: สมเด็จพระอาทิตยวงศ์;
RTGS: ''Somdet Phra Athittayawong'') (born
1618) was the 23rd
monarch of
Ayuthia (or 24th if including
Khun Vạravoṇśādhirāj) who reigned for a period of 38 days in the year
1629. He was the second son of
King Droṇdharm and the younger brother of
King Jēṣṭhādhirāj and so was of the
House of Sukhōday. When the previous ruler King Jēṣṭhādhirāj died,
Minister for Defence Suriyavoṇś (สุริยวงศ์; ''Suriyawong'') installed Ādiŧyavoṇś on the throne despite his being only ten years of age, with Suriyavoṇś seeing to the king's affairs in his stead. However in less than a month court nobles and officials found the king too young to oversee the affairs of state and removed him from the throne, thereby declaring Suriyavoṇś take his place as reigning monarch as
King Ҏrāsāddạṇ.
