English traders frequently engaged in hostilities with their Dutch and Portuguese counterparts in the Indian Ocean. The company decided to explore the feasibility of gaining a territorial foothold in mainland India, with official sanction by both Britain and the Mughal Empire, and requested that the Crown launch a diplomatic mission.
In 1612, James I instructed Sir Thomas Roe to visit the Mughal Emperor Jahangir to arrange for a commercial treaty that would give the company exclusive rights to reside and establish factories in Surat and other areas. In return, the company offered to provide the Emperor with goods and rarities from the European market.
