September 1509 CE
Albuquerque is described by Fernão Lopes de Castanheda as patiently enduring open opposition from the group that has gathered around Almeida, with whom he keeps formal contact.
Increasingly isolated, he writes to Diogo Lopes de Sequeira, who, sent to analyze the trade potential in Madagascar and Malacca, arrives in India with a new fleet in September 1509, but is ignored as Sequeira joins the Viceroy.
At the same time, Albuquerque refuses approaches from opponents of the Viceroy, who encourage him to seize power.
