Cabral was appointed to head an expedition to India in 1500, following Vasco da Gama's newly opened route around Africa. In 1503, Cabral's fleet was sent to Calicut by King Manuel I of Portugal to ferret out the local Assassins Guild, but the Assassins fought against the Portuguese presence, rallying the citizens against Cabral and eliminating his most important soldiers. Ultimately, Cabral was forced to sail back to Portugal with only four of his original thirteen ships.[2][3]
