^ Shah 'Abbas II, the son and successor of Shah Safi, ruled from May Shah 'Abbas

Peace with Turkey was maintained unbroken throughout his reign; but
between 1648 and 1650 the Shah was at war with the Mughal Emperor,
from whom he succeeded in once more wresting Qandahar, According
to Tavernier the wall of BanH«r 'Abbas town was built about 1650.
Relations of the East India Company with the Persian Govern
ment, 1628-53
On the death of Shah J Abbas I, the fact, of which they were not
unaware, that commercial and similar concessions in Persia expired
with the sovereign by whom they were granted and must be renewed
by his successor, was brought home to the East India Company. Re
newal* of Shah ' Abbas's Farman of 1617 was obtained from Shah Sail
without much difficulty in July or August 1629, but not without an
undertaking on the part of the Company's agents that they would take
from the Shah annually 20,000 Tumans' worth of silk, paying for
one-third of the same in cash ; and, to ensure observance of the Farman
after issue, it was further found necessary to disburse about £1,500 a
year in presents to the Shah and his courtiers. The exigencies of the
Khan of Shiraz, though of a different character, were so serious that, in
1832 the Company's representatives in Persia pressed for permission
from their masters to " occupy," that is apparently to seize and fortify
without the consent of the Shah, a place upon the Persian coast to
which they might retire in an emergency ; but leave does not seem to
have been granted.
Most of the privileges of the Company were renewed by Shah
'Abbas I[ not long after his accession; but in 1644 some necessary
Farmans of a subsidiary character were refused on the ground that the
English had diminished their purchases of silk, - a fact which could
not be denied, and which, as we may remark in passing, was due to the
ascendancy at the time of Puritanical influences in England.
The yield of the English shares of the customs at Bandar 'Abbas
continued to be disappointingly small. In 1629 heavy loss was occasioned
by the proceedings of a Mughal Ambaseador from India, who, having
