Abstract
AbstractThis chapter is dedicated to the evolution of the English strategies vis-à-vis the Mughal Empire following the ‘embassies’ of Paul Canning, Thomas Kerridge and William Edwards, which took place between 1613 and 1615. This chapter reassesses the activities of these three envoys and their attempts to surpass the apparent Jesuit influence at the Mughal court. The evolution of the EIC’s diplomatic manoeuvres will be juxtaposed with the Jesuit efforts to secure a channel of communication between the Mughal court and the Estado da Índia during the Luso-Mughal crisis of 1613–1615.
