Ponhea Nou was the second son of Chey Chettha II. He succeeded the throne in 1631. His uncle Outey served as regent, assuming the title uprayorach (ឧភយោរាជ),[citation needed] the title usually borne by kings who had abdicated but retained executive powers.[citation needed]
Nou died in mysterious circumstances in June 1640.[citation needed] Although Ponhea Chan should be the next king, Outey forced Chan to give the crown to his own son Batom Reachea.
