He is known for his leadership of Martaban's musket and artillery corps at the battle of Martaban (1540–41) against Toungoo Burma.[1] BackgroundThough Seixas' land and naval troops, primarily made up of Portuguese and other foreign mercenaries, kept the besiegers at bay for seven months, Toungoo forces eventually broke through and the city was sacked.[2] According to the contemporary Portuguese explorer Fernão Mendes Pinto, Seixas had managed to escape with "a native woman", and the couple made it to the Coromandel Coast (Southeastern India) where they were married. He had brought with him two valuable bracelets, which he said were awarded to him by Saw Binnya in recognition of his faithful service. He sold the bracelets for 36,000 ducats. The dealers, according to Pinto, resold the bracelets to the ruler of Narsinga[3] for 80,000 ducats.[1] Notes1. ^1 Ryley 1899: 140–142 2. ^Harvey 1925: 155–157 3. ^The ruler of Narsinga could have been Achyuta Deva Raya (r. 1529–1542), Venkata I (1542) or Sadasiva Raya (r. 1542–1569).
