During his rule occurred the Travancore–Dutch War (1739–1753) between Travancore and the Dutch East India Company, which had been allied to some of these kingdoms.[citation needed] In 1741, Travancore won the Battle of Colachel against the Dutch, resulting in the complete eclipse of Dutch power in the region. In this battle Travancore forces captured the Dutch Captain, Eustachius De Lannoy; he later defected to Travancore.[3] De Lannoy was appointed captain of His Highness' bodyguard[3] and later Senior Admiral ("Valiya kappittan")[4] and modernised the Travancore army by introducing firearms and artillery.[3] From 1741 to 1758, De Lannoy remained in command of the Travancore forces and was involved in annexation of small principalities.[5]
