[1] One year later, Roland Crappé became Governor of Tranquebar, establishing a far-flung string of Danish factories from Malabar to Sulawesi.

[4] It is said that Malik Beg poisoned the Danish inhabitants, which were about 40 people,[5] and seized their goods, which they had acquired from the area.

[4] As a result, Malik Beg demolished the Danish factory at Balasore, and the Danes who lived there were either poised or expelled.

[4] As a result of this and other incidents, the governor of the Danish East India Company, Bernt Pessart, declared war on the Mughal Empire, which would last until 1698.

The Danes would reestablish their factory at Balasore in 1674 when 2 Danish vessels captured 5 Bengali ships, in which the Mughal governor, Malik Kasim, promised to give them the same trading privileges as the English.
