Naval battle between the Mamluks and the Portuguese
The Battle of Chaul was a naval battle between the Portuguese and the Egyptian Mamluk fleets in 1508 in the harbour of Chaul in India. The battle ended in a Mamluk victory. It followed the Siege of Cannanore in which a Portuguese garrison successfully resisted an attack by southern Indian rulers. This was the first Portuguese defeat at sea in the Indian Ocean.
