In January 1615, Sir Thomas Roe became the English Ambassador to Emperor Jahangir, securing two farmans: one for English residence in Surat and another for 17,000 mamudis in compensation. His diplomacy facilitated future British trade in India. Roe noted Jahangir's interest in European art, gifting him a rare coach, and his journals offer insights into Mughal court life, including Jahangir's opium use and the influence of his wife, Nur Jahan.
