Prince Ramesuan succeeded his father, King Borommaracha II to the throne and took the name Borommatrailokanat. 1463 he moved to the capital of the kingdom of Ayutthaya, Phitsanulok, after the city had been until 1460 besieged by troops of Lan Na in 1459 without success, and at the same time a rebellion broke out in Sukhothai, which had to lead to a weakening of the northern border. The investment capital in Phitsanulok served mainly to better control of the north of his empire. 1463 Sukhothai was recaptured from the power of Lanna. To this end, the epic poem Yuon Phai was written, which is one of the most complex texts in Thai language ( Yuon is a name for the north). Also Borommatrailokanat to be responsible for the constitution of the poem Thet Mahachat ( Large divine rebirth), an inspired by Buddhism work, based on the Jataka No. 547.

Borommatrailokanat organized today so designated ministries Kalahom ( Defense / War Department ) and Mahatthai ( Interior and Ministry of Labour). Was awarded - and he brought the Sakdi Na (the " field force" ) a, after each subject and each family a symbolic land ownership - expressed in a number of Rai (1600 square meters).
