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]
