Siege of Malacca (1573)
text:
The Siege of Malacca occurred in 1573, when the Sultan of Aceh attacked the Portuguese city of Malacca with the support of the Sultanate of Golconda and Kalinyamat. The Portuguese resisted the attack and the Muslim forces were routed. By October 1573 Malacca was barely defended since most soldiers were embarked in commercial missions. The Sultan of Aceh gathered 7,000 men and a fleet of 25 galleys, 34 half-galleys, and 30 craft and requested assistance from the Queen of Kalinyamat to besiege it.
