Epilogue 330 $aThis open access book reconstructs and examines a crucial episode of Anglo-Iberian diplomatic rivalry: the clash between the Portuguese-sponsored Jesuit missionaries and the English East India Company (EIC) at the Mughal court between 1580 and 1615. This 35-year period includes the launch of the first Jesuit mission to Akbar?s court in 1580 and the preparation of the royal embassy led by Sir Thomas Roe to negotiate the concession of trading privileges to the EIC, and encompasses not only the extension of the conflict between the Iberian crowns and England into Asia, but also the consolidation of the Mughal Empire. The book examines the proselytizing and diplomatic activities of the Jesuit missionaries, the evolution of English diplomatic strategies concerning the Mughal Empire, and how the Mughal authorities instigated and exploited Anglo-Iberian rivalry in the pursuit of specific commercial, geopolitical, and ideological agendas. 410 0$aNew Transculturalisms, 1400-1800 606 $aAsian history$2bicssc 606 $aEuropean history$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of religion$2bicssc 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zPortugal 607 $aMughal Empire$xCourt and courtiers 607 $aMughal Empire$xPolitics and government$y16th century 607 $aPortugal$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 610 $adiplomacy 610 $atranscultural exchange 610 $aRalph Fitch 610 $aJohn Mildenhall 610 $aCatholicism 615 7$aAsian history 615 7$aEuropean history 615 7$aHistory of religion 676 $a271.5309540903 676 $a271.5309540903 700 $aMelo$b Joćo Vicente$01238228 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910567789303321 996 $aJesuit and English Experiences at the Mughal Court, C. 1580-1615$92873783 997 $aUNINA
