Early life
Zakarine was brought up in Luang Phrabang. He was educated privately, a privilege reserved for wealthy Lao people at the time. Later on, he married seven wives, included Queen Thongsy, and had 10 sons and 4 daughters. Thongsy was childless, so he adopted Queen Khamphane, wife of King Sisavang Vong. He commanded the Royal Forces against the Haw invasion (Chinese rebels of the Taiping rebellion) in 1874. He fled to Bangkok after the sack of Luang Prabang in 1887.
King of Luang Phrabang
In 1888, the King of Siam appointed him regent for his father. Zakarine officially succeeded his father on 15 December 1895 and was crowned at Luang Prabang on 14 July 1896. During his reign, he accepted French protectorate over the kingdom on 3 October 1893 after his father agreed to having French protection. He died from cerebral hemorrhage on 25 March 1904. He was succeeded by his son, King Sisavang Vong.
