Ang Non II

Ang Nong II (also Ang Nan , Khmer. បទុម រាជា ទី ៣ ); 1654 - 1691 ) - the regent king ( uparaja ) of Medieval Cambodia.

The grandson of the regent king Utai. In 1674, Uncle Ang Nona - Ang Tan - invaded Cambodia at the head of the Vietnamese army. As a result, King Ang Chey was killed. At the end of the same year, Ang Tan became seriously ill and, before his death, transferred command of the army to his nephew, Ang Non, who became regent of Udong, taking the name Padumaraja. For five months, the Khmer troops, led by the brother of the late Ang Chei (future King Chetta IV), were able to drive the Vietnamese out of the capital. Ang Non was forced to flee to Vietnam.

In 1682, Ang Nong, recruiting an army of Chinese refugees, as well as the Cambodians who emigrated to Vietnam, resumed the fight against Chetta IV. At first the Khmers suffered several defeats, but in 1684 they were able to go on the offensive, with the support of Siam. In 1688, Ang Non suffered a final defeat from the Khmer-Siamese forces, after which he did not return to the struggle for power in Cambodia.
