_ 7 _ Introduction to Volume Five This volume covers the events of thirteen years, from 1516 to 1528, including the involvement of the Mamluks in the ongoing war between the Portuguese and the Muslim Indians led by Adil Shah. It also details the Mamluks’ control of the Red Sea and the entry of the Ottomans into the Red Sea following their occupation of Egypt. The Portuguese attempted to establish a foothold in the Red Sea, but in the later years, the situation shifted for the Portuguese. The King of Ormuz rebelled against them, leading to battles between the two. However, things changed when Ormuz lost its commercial advantage, prompting Rais Sharaf and the King of Ormuz to seek reconciliation and stability with the King of Portugal through correspondence. Unfortunately, these letter exchanges yielded no result. Dr. Sultan Bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi
