ABSTRACT
The General Habadulacão had promised to the Khan of Xiràs (the second personage in the great Kingdom of Persia) that within ten days he would capture the fort of Queixome and bring the Portuguese under his rule, since for each one of them he mustered 100 Moors, swearing that he would not only take them prisoners, but forcibly convert them to his false Mohamedan sect.
