1543. Assud Khan of Belgam gives presents to the governor-general, Don Garcia, to induce him to deliver over the Prince Mulloo Khan of Beejapoor into his hands. Ibrahim Adil Shah I., King of Beejapoor, negotiates to obtain the same object. Assud Khan promises to make over the Concan, yielding a million sterling, to gain his purpose. The Portuguese governor-general supports the cause of Mulloo Khan. Assud Khan of Belgam dies. The Portuguese agree to deliver the Prince Mulloo Khan to his brother, in consideration of receiving all the wealth of Assud Khan. It is sent to Goa under the charge of Khwaja Shums-ood-Deen. The Portuguese consider they only received one tenth of the whole, which they estimated at ten millions of ducats.
