March 1503 CE
The Zamorin, as expected, arrives in March 1503 before Cochin with an army of fifty thousand, and seizes and burns down the city.
The Portuguese factors, along the Cochin's ruler, manage to escape to the nearby island of Vypin, where they will continue to hold out until August, when the next armada arrives.
