who visited the court of jahangir in 1615
Thomas Roe In 1614, Roe was elected Member of Parliament for Tamworth.[1] From 1615 to 1618, he was ambassador to the court at Agra, India, of the Great Mughal Ruler, Jahangir. The principal object of the mission was to obtain protection for the East India Company`s factory at Surat. At the Mughal court, Roe allegedly became a favorite of Jahangir and may have been his drinking partner. This greatly enhanced Roe's status with the Mughals.[citation needed] His journal was a valuable source of information for the reign of Jahangir.
