1. Zamorin

   The Samoothiri (Anglicised as Zamorin; Malayalam: Sāmūtiri, Portuguese: Samorim, Dutch: Samorijn, Chinese: Shamitihsi) was the hereditary monarch of the kingdom of Kozhikode (Calicut) on the South Malabar region of India. Calicut was one of the important trading ports on the south-western coast of India. At the peak of their reign, the Zamorins ruled over a region from Kollam (Quilon) to Panthalayini Kollam (Koyilandy).It was after the dissolution of the kingdom of Cheras of Kodungallur in the early 12th century, the Eradis of Nediyiruppu (originally autonomous chiefs of Eranadu) demonstrated their political independence under the title of Zamorin. The Zamorins maintained elaborate trade relations with the Muslim Middle-Eastern sailors in the Indian Ocean, the primary spice traders on the Malabar Coast in the Middle Ages. Calicut was then an important entrepôt in south-western India where Chinese and West Asian trade met.The Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama visited Quilandy in 1498, opening the sailing route directly from Europe to Asia. The Portuguese efforts to lay the foundations to Estado da Índia, and to take complete control over the commerce was repeatedly hampered by the forces of Zamorin of Calicut. The Kunjali Marakkars, the famous Muslim warriors, were the naval chiefs of Calicut. By the end of the 16th century the Portuguese – now commanding the spice traffic on the Malabar Coast – had succeeded in replacing the Muslim merchants in the Arabian Sea. The Dutch supplanted the Portuguese in the 17th century, who in turn were supplanted by the British.In 1766, Haider Ali of Mysore defeated the Zamorin of Calicut – an East India Company ally at the time – and absorbed Calicut to his state. After the Third Mysore War (1790–1792), Malabar was placed under the control of the Company. Eventually, the status of the Zamorin was reduced to that of a pensioner of the Company (1806).
