His Majesty King Nangklao, orRama III, Though a son of a minor wife from a Southern Muslim family and not the queen, succeded his father to the throne because of his proven ability as well as high ranking overseeing the ministry of trade and foreign affairs. Prince Monkut (later King Rama IV) was the rightful heir, but was much younger and having a lesser experience. During his reign, contacts with China increased especially through trade, and a renewed contact with Western countries most notably England and America. Under President Andrew Jackson, the Siamese-American Treaty of Amity and Commerce was signed, which is in fact still being used with some modern modifications. Rama III was known as a shrewd ruler who upheld Buddhism above all, but at the same time, allowed Christian missionaries to work in the Kingdom. It was also during his reign that the Kings of Siam were given names, as his grandfather (Rama I) was then known as the First Reign and his father (Rama II) was known as the Middle Reign. He named both previous kings. He was named Nangklao by his half brother during the next reign.
