o-ave battle with his small squadron to a huge fleet, partly Indian by
which the island was defended. He gained a complete and easy
victory. In September 1507 a treaty was concluded by which Shaikh
Saif-ud-Dm became a vassal of the Portuguese Crown ; and in the follow
ing month he even hoisted a flag bearing a cioss o\ei his palace^ whiie
the Portuguese began to build a fort for themselves which they named
" Nossa Sehhora da Victoria." A demand made after this on the
Shaikh by an officer of Shah Isma'il, the sovereign of Persia, was reject
ed under the orders of De Albuquerque, who added a haughty message
of his own for delivery to the Shah.
Early in 1508, the Portuguese fleet being then still at Hormuz the
Commanders of most of the ships combined to defy the authority of De
Albuquerque and though the latter was able to bombard the town in which
some Portuguese deserters were harboured, his position at Hormuz
became untenable. He sailed accordingly and in November of the same
year arrived in India ; but De Almeida, who had already repudiated his
action at Hormuz, refused to hand over the government to him, and the
dispute between them was referred home to Portugal for settlement.
In November 1509 De Albuquerque became Viceroy of Portuguese
India, and later he received missions from the Shah of Persia and the
Shaikh of Hormuz at his capital of Goa. Turkish attacks from the Red
Sea on the Portuguese possessions in India were frequently threatened
during his Viceroyalty and provoked counterdesigns ; but De Albuquer
que considered the recovery of Hormuz, which had been lost more
accessary than the capture of Aden.

and was in danger of meeting a similar fate at the hands of his own
nephews. The island was found in a state of revolution, and no naval
or military action by the Portuguese was needed for its recovery. The
