Thirunavaya Wars
Zamorin (Samoodiri; Malayalam: സാമൂതിരി, Portuguese: Samorim, Dutch: Samorijn) of Calicut is the hereditary royal title used by the Hindu rulers of the medieval Kingdom of Calicut on Malabar Coast (present day Kerala). The Zamorins ruled for almost six centuries, between c. 12th and 18th century AD based at the city of Calicut, the one of important trading centres in southern India.
The Portuguese trader and navigator Vasco da Gama visited the Calicut in 1498, opening the sailing route directly from Europe to India.
