Presenting Basic Facts[edit]

I am making some edits to present some basic facts about the 'Pak Lat Chronicles'.

These facts are not readily apparent because they are buried in scholarly work, but I feel should be present in this Wikipedia article since it is the public entry point for these historical sources.

The basic facts come from the following source by the person who has to be considered to be the foremost authority on the Pak Lat Chronicles since he basically published a PhD dissertation on them at the University of Washington:

McCormick, Patrick A. “The Mon Rajavamsa Katha: Tellings o f a Southeast Asian History”. In The Mon over Two Millennia: Monuments, Manuscripts, Movements, edited by Patrick A. M cCorm ick, Matthias Jenny and Chris Baker. Bangkok: Institute of Asian Studies, Chulalongkom University, 2011. [1]

Please note that he refers to the 'Pak Lat Chronicles' as the 'Mon Rajavamsa Katha'.
