August 1504 CE

The armada appears before Calicut on September 7.

Lopo Soares dispatches a message to the Zamorin, demanding he hand over any and all Portuguese prisoners to him; moreover, he demands that they also deliver the two Venetian engineers who had been helping the Zamorin build European cannon.

The Zamorin is absent from the city at the moment.

His ministers are willing to release the Portuguese prisoners, but not the Italians.

Lopo Soares subjects Calicut to forty-eight hours of continuous shore bombardment, causing great damage, then proceeds south to Cochin.
