(1590-1605), the population in the Portuguese amp expanded. They played a part in serving the royal grace with honesty and were trusted by the king, especially the Portuguese priests and volunteer soldiers. Their community was therefore admired and many converted. Many Thai nobles were dissatisfied when a Thai Woman was bullied by the Portuguese. The nobles therefore reported to King Naresuan that a Portuguese priest was the one who instigated the incident. Later, a Thai woman changed her religion without her husband's consent. The woman's husband was so dissatisfied that he stormed in to kill the priest who was celebrating mass in a church in the Portuguese camp. He was then killed by the Portuguese converts in revenge. Later, Father Gorgé reported the incident to King Naresuan, who was very angry. Father Gorgé and the Christians decided to board a Spanish ship to Malacca, but were attacked along the way. Father Joaô de San Pedro was killed. Father Joaô Maldonado and Father Afonso Ximenes were captured in the Gulf of Thailand and the King ordered their execution. Father Gorgé died along the way. In the same year, the Portuguese governor of Martaban sent a message stating that Father Melchiur de Cruz would be travelling to Ayutthaya. King Naresuan therefore had him brought before him and allowed him to teach religion. He also granted him money to build a new church in 1602
