#DidYouKnow #AbbakkaChowta #KnowYourHistory

In1555, Portuguese were at their peak
>Destroyed Zamorins of Calicut
>Captured Daman & Bombay. Made Goa headquarters
>Destroyed the ancient Kapaleeswarar Temple to build a Church over it
Next target was the super profitable port of Mangalore
Their only bad luck, just 14 kilometers south of Mangalore was the small settlement of Ullal - ruled then by a feisty 30 year old woman - Abbakka Chowta.
Initially, they took her lightly and sent a few boats/soldiers to capture & bring her back to Goa
>Boats never came back
Shocked/enraged, they sent a huge fleet of ships this time, under Admiral Dom Álvaro da Silveira
>Admiral soon returned, badly injured and empty handed
