The Portuguese commander, António Correia, later depicted King Muqrin's bleeding severed head on his family's coat of arms in Lousã.
He refused to pay tribute to the expanding Portuguese-Hormuzi alliance that had come to dominate the sea lanes, prompting the two allies to send an invasion force to subdue the Jabrid kingdom of Bahrain.
During the whole engagement, Xarafo, or Asharoff, the Persian admiral, looked on from his vessel as an unconcerned spectator; but when afterwards the body of King Muqrin, who was shot through the thigh and did not die till six days afterwards, was taken over to Lahsa to be interred, this cold blooded and cowardly spectator went over to the town, and cut off his head, which he sent to Ormuz.
What seems equally disgraceful is, that Correia, the Portuguese commander, in memory of his share which he had in this event, was authorized to bear King Muqrin’s decapitated [sic][a] head in his coat of arms, which is still, says the historian of his own country, born by his descendants in Lousã.
[2]The severed head remains a feature of the coat of arms of the Count of Lousã, Correia's descendant in Portugal.
