"uncovered his head, which being- noted by the Padshah, the more to
" oblige he lifted up his turban, and, after an hour^s entertainment,
" dismissed him with much satigfaction/ ,
Conclusion of After this favourable reception matters began to go ill, in consequence
the embassy. 0 £ an enm ^y borne by Muhammad 'Ali Baig, the Shah's favourite, to
Sir Robert Sherley; and Sir Dodmore Cotton could not obtain another
interview with the Shah. The Persian court soon afterwards moved to
Qazvm, whither the English embassy followed to receive their conge;
but at this place Sir Robert Sherley died on the 13th of July, and Sir
Dodmore Cotton followed him on the 23rd of the same month. A letter
from the Shah to the King was eventually granted to the survivors of
the mission, among whom was Herbert, and with it they returned to
England. The explanation of the partial failure of this embassy may
perhaps be found in a remark of the Company's Factors at Isfahan, that
Sir Dodmore Cotton's " extreme want in things exteriorly befitting so
"high a minister caused him much disrespect, of which he was very
" sensible, blaming Sir Robert Sherley and his own unadvisedness."

The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, it is necessary to take a brief survey of
Persian affairs during that period.
Shah 'Abbas I continued to reign until 1628, towards the close of
which year or possibly at the beginning of 1629—he died and was
succeeded by his grandson, Shah Safi. Among the numberless victims
of the cruelty and caprice of the new ruler was Imam Quli Khan, the
erstwhile governor of Shiraz and captor, with English aid, of Hormuz.
In the time of Shah Sail, Qandahar was appropriated by the Mughal
Emperor of India; the relations of the Persian and Indian courts
became unfriendly ; and in 1639 Mughal subjects were prohibited by the
Emperor from trading to Bandar 'Abbas. In 1638 Baghdad was
co\eicd from Persia by the Turks; and the greater part of 'Iraq,
containing the Shi ah holy places, which had been controlled by the
rsians since 1623, came once more under Ottoman domination. In
a 1 reah defining, in somewhat general terms, the Perso -Turkish
rontier was concluded between the two powers ; it formed the basis of
ail later discussions of the subject.
