History

Chey Chettha was the second son of Satha I. He was appointed as heir apparent when he was eleven.^{[citation needed]} He was crowned by his father in 1584.^[1]

In 1594, Cambodia was attacked by Siam. After the Siamese army reached Lovek, Chey Chettha assumed his uncle Soryopor the direct command of the defenses.^[2]

Chey Chetta fled the capital with his father, Satha, first to Srey Santhor, then to Stung Treng. He died there in 1595 without an heir.^{[citation needed]}
