The Treaty of Bassein was signed by Sultan Bahadur of Gujarat and the Kingdom of Portugal on 23 December 1534 while on board the galleon São Mateus. Based on the terms of the agreement, the Portuguese Empire gained control of the city of Bassein, as well as its territories, islands, and seas.
the place passed from the Portuguese to the English in 1661 as part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza, and became a major trade center - making this the treaty's most important long-range result.
Bassein was the Portuguese northern capital from the time of their 16th century treaty with the Sultan, until the Marathas, under Chimaji Appa, captured it in 1739. The fort also played a strategic role in the First Anglo-Maratha War.
