Sieges of Tranquebar (1655–1669)
Warfare in South India from 1655 to 1669
The sieges of Tranquebar refer to the warfare between the Thanjavur Nayak kingdom and the Danish East India Company from 1655 to 1669. The Thanjavurian Nayak besieged the Danish colony of Tranquebar on multiple occasions; however, they were repelled due to the new fortifications being built around the city. A peace agreement was issued in 1669, ceding four Thanjavurian villages to the Danes.
