Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam[pronunciation?] (died on May 28, 741) was the fourth Mayanking of Dos Pilas. He is also known as the Ruler 3, Master of Sun Jaguar, Scroll-head God K, Spangle-head and Jewelled-head. His title was "He of Five Captives".
His parents are not known. He was a successor of the king Itzamnaaj Kʼawiil.
The fact that Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam followed Itzamnaaj Kʼawiil on the throne even though the latter probably had a son, can be explained in this way: the royal prince was too young to assume the rulership on his own, so there was a need for his regent.[1]
One depiction shows us Uchaʼan Kʼin Bʼalam presiding over a ritual featuring a young boy, presumably the prince and his successor Kʼawiil Chan Kʼinich.
