The '''Capture of Cannanore''' during the [[Third Anglo-Mysore War]] took place on 17 December 1790. Forces of the [[British East India Company]], led by General [[Robert Abercromby of Airthrey|Robert Abercromby]], began besieging [[Kannur|Cannanore]] (now known as Kannur), held by troops of [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore]] and of the [[Ali Raja|Sultan Ali Raja]] of Cannanore on 14 December. After gaining control of the high ground commanding the city's main fort, the defenders surrendered. The British victory, along with the [[Battle of Calicut (1790)|taking of Calicut]] by a separate force a few days earlier, secured their control over the [[Malabar Coast]].
