The siege of Alorna in 1746 was a military engagement that took place in India, between Portuguese forces under the command of the Viceroy of India, Dom Pedro Miguel de Almeida Portugal, and those of the Sawantwadi State then part of the Maratha Confederacy, which were defeated. It was the crowning achievement in the career of Dom Pedro Miguel as Viceroy of India, and as a reward for his services to the Portuguese Crown he was later attributed the title Marquis of Alorna.[8]
