Suhungmung (reign 1497-1539) (Swarganarayan, Dihingia Raja), was an important Ahom king under whom the Ahom Kingdom expanded greatly for the first time since Sukaphaa. He was the first Ahom king to adopt a Hindu name, Swarganarayana, indicating a move towards an inclusive polity. He is also called the Dihingia Raja, because he made Bakata on the Dihing River his capital. 1497 was a common year starting on Friday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Against Chutiya Kingdom The conflict began in 1513 under the Chutiya king Dhir Narayana when Suhungmung annexed Mungkhrang and Namdang. The Chutiya counter attack came in 1520 when the newly established fort at Mungkhrang was taken. But the Ahoms fought back, retook the fort and extended the Ahom Kingdom to the mouth of the Tiphao River, where a new fort was contructed. This fort was soon attacked by the Chutiyas, but in the expedition lead by Suhungmung itself, they were routed. By this time Suhungmung clearly wanted to annex the Chutiya Kingdom, and was not interested in a treaty. The Chutiyas fortified Sadia but they were soon defeated. The Chutiyas were pursued further and their king and prince were killed in battle. Suhungmung took possession of the Chutiya royal heirlooms and established the office of the Sadiakhowa Gohain to look after the newly acquired region. Though this was not the end of the conflict it brought to an end the first major expansion of the Ahom Kingdom. 1513 was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Against Kachari Kingdom In 1526, Suhungmung marched against the Kachari Kingdom. In 1531 Khunkhara, the Kachari king, sent forces under his brother Detcha to drive the Ahoms away from Marangi but the Kachari army was defeated and their commander killed. The Kacharis were pursued up to the capital Dimapur and Khunkhara had to flee. Suhungmung established a Kachari prince, Detsung, as the Kachari king. But Detsung rose in revolt in a few years, and the Ahoms pursued him till Jangmarang where he was killed. The Kachari Kingdom abandoned Dimapur permanently and established their new capital at Maibong. Unlike the Chutiya Kingdom, Suhungming did not take direct possession of the Kachari Kingdom.

Muslim invasions The first Muslim invasion of the Ahom Kingdom occurred in 1527, but it was defeated and pushed back to the Burai River. A few years later, there was another attempt when a commander advanced up the Brahmaputra in fifty vessels. This too was defeated. In yet another expedition, the Barpatra Gohain slained the commander, Bit Malik, and captured cannons and guns. The most successful among these initial raids on the Ahom Kingdom was the one led by Turbak.

Turbak, a Gaur commander, advanced against the Ahom Kingdom in April 1532 with a large force. He first faced Suklen, Suhungmung's son, at Singri. In this battle Suklen was defeated and wounded and the Ahoms retreated to Sala. The Ahoms again faced reverses at Sala and some other expeditions thereafter, but won the first significant victory in March 1533 when a naval force was defeated with heavy losses to Turbak's forces. This led to a period of stalemate as the two armies encamped on opposite banks of the Dikrai River. Events May 16 - Sir Thomas More resigns as Lord Chancellor of England. ...
