Siege of Santhome

The siege of Santhome (1558) was a military campaign led by Rama Raya of Vijayanagara against the Portuguese settlement of Santhome of Mylapore. Portuguese records provide limited details, Indian sources suggest that Rama Raya’s forces, numbering around 500,000 troops, surrounded the city while a separate Vijayanagara contingent besieged Goa to prevent reinforcements. The Portuguese opted for negotiation over resistance. A ransom of 100,000 pagodas was imposed, and five leading citizens were taken hostage until full payment was made.
