v1.c14.145

In the neighbourhood of Barcelor (Basrur), the old Barace of Ptolomey, near the mouth of the Kundapur river, there was another chief, called by the Portuguese King of Cambolim (Gangolly), subject to Vijayanagara 3. Frederic mentions also the Queen of Gargopam (Gersoppa), near Honavar, as "tributary to the King of Bezenegar (Vijayanagara)." The city of Ancola belonged to her 4. In 1540 the King of Gersoppa, most likely that Queen's predecessor, had acknowledged the suzerainty of the King of Portugal, to whom he promised to pay a thousand sackfuls of rice every year 5.
