Work on the war and siege of the Indian city of Diu and the defeat of the Army and Muslin Fleet, which is one of the most celebrated heroic deeds of the Portuguese in India. The Second Siege of the Portuguese fortress of Diu, between April and November of 1546, laid by the forces of the Sultanate of Gujarat, commanded by Khwaja Safar, merchant and lord of Surat was of undeniable importance to the Portuguese 'State of India'. It defined part of the government of Vice-Roy D. JoÃ£o de Castro (1545-1548) and represented the last Gujarati attempt to retake the fortress of Diu, first taken by the Portuguese in 1535.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes an account of the battles of Ormuz between the Turks and the Arabs. D. JoÃ£o de Castro (1500-1548) was a naval officer and later the Viceroy of Portuguese India. In 1538 he embarked on his first voyage to India, arriving in Goa and immediately starting the defence of Diu. Castro was responsible for the overthrow of Mahmud, King of Gujarat, whose interests threatenedÂ the Portuguese control of Goa coast. His voyages took him to the coasts of Arabia, and this biography contains many details about the Arabian Peninsula, especially about Aden and the sea route to Mecca, of which he made a graphical survey (vide Roteiro and Tabuas Mar Roxo). Castro died in Goa in 1548 and was initially buried there, but his remains were exhumed and transferred to Portugal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferÃªncias BibliogrÃ¡ficas | Bibliographic References:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarbosa Machado Vol. II, 465; InocÃªncio III, 239; Graesse I, 118; Atabey, 462 (1651 Portuguese ed.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eÂ \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garimpo dos Livros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58296033083724,"sku":"1712JC004","price":72000.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1066\/5617\/0316\/files\/1712JC004_1.jpg?v=1785852760","url":"https:\/\/garimpodoslivros.com.br\/products\/the-life-of-dom-john-de-castro-the-fourth-vice-roy-of-india","provider":"Garimpo dos Livros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
