The Battle of Naband (1508) was a military engagement fought in town of Naband, between Portuguese forces led by Afonso de Albuquerque and Hormuzian–Persian forces under Cogeatar.
Background
During the near end of the Portuguese campaign in Oman, Afonso de Albuquerque's forces were struggling against the defenders of Hormuz and their Persian allies, led by Cogeatar. After difficulties and desertions, Albuquerque sought to remove the Persian resistance in the region.
Battle
In 1508, Albuquerque decided to launch a surprise attack on the Persian forces stationed at Naband, which had been fortified by Persian archers. With only 28 men, Albuquerque advanced hoping to catch the enemy off guard. As they approached the shore, the force was found, and a shout was raised.
By the time dawn broke, the Portuguese had forced the Persian forces to flee. The two Persian commanders in charge of the defense were reprimanded by Shah Ismail for their failure to hold the position.
Aftermath
Following their victory, the Portuguese forces set fire to Naband and expelled the Safavid from Larek. Shah Ismail, admired by the ability to defeat a much larger Persian force, sought to establish a friendship with Albuquerque.
