ABSTRACT

The Captain-Major did not cease to inflict on the Persians the punishment which their faithlessness had deserved, and because lasques was a factory of the English and a place of much importance, he sent thither Balthezar de Chaves with eight galliots whose Captains were Pero Gomes Azevedo, Diogo Pereyra de Macedo, O Camara, Bras Rodriguez, Ioão de Andrada da Gama, Francisco Conçalves, and Francisco Antunes with 300 Portuguese, together with 400 Ormuzians in 20 terranquis, reminding Balthezar de Chaves that it was to the honour of this crown that not one stone should remain upon another in that City and Factory.
