and it seems that the Portuguese, when they were on bad terms with the
Turks, sometimes made liberal offers to Mubarak to induce him to enter
into an offensive and defensive alliance with them against the Ottoman,
but that he did not respond to their advances.
In 1625, at the time of the Italian Pietro della Valleys visit to
Basrah, Mubarak had been dead for some years. On his decease his
brother, named Mansur, had been appointed by the Persian monarch to

of Basrah, then Afrasiyab, with a view to asserting his
independence. In order to bring his loyalty to the test, the Shah, on the
occasion of the successful expedition against Baghdad in 1623, required
Mansur to join the Persian army; but Imam Quli Khan, though on the
march from Shiraz to Baghdad he waited for him many days at Hawizeh,
could not induce him to move. After this the Shah several times
summoned Mansur to wait on him at Isfahan, but the cautious Shaikh,
while he invariably returned a soft answer, did not obey; and at length
Shah ^Abbas became incensed and ordered him to repair to Isfahan on
pain of losing his head. The only answer, however, which Mansur
returned to this ultimatum was: That if the Shah was King in Persia,
himself was King in Hawizeh, and that he did not value him ; 39 and Imam
Quli Khan was accordingly despatched with a large force to capture or
kill Mansur and to set up in his place his nephew Muhammad, a son of the
late Mubarak, who had been educated at the Safavi court. In the latter
part of his task the Persian general was successful; but Mansur escaped
and sought refuge, accompanied by 500 followers, with the

Basrah territory closely adjoining Hawizeh. The former subjects of
Mansur acquiesced in the installation of Muhammad as their governor
on the condition, which Imam Quli Khan granted, that no Persian
garrison should be left at Hawizeh. These events occurred at the begin
