The Old Conquest
The hostility between the Portuguese and the Adil Shah
continued. The Shah tried to retake Goa in 1516 but
failed.
During the war between Vijaynagar and Bijapur in 1520,
the Portuguese captured Bardez, Ponda and Salcete from
the Shah at the instance of the Vijaynagar emperor Krishna
Deva Raya.
However, the Shah recovered the lands a couple of
years later.
However, during the animosity between the Shah and
his governor Asad Khan in 1532, the Portuguese sided
with the latter in exchange of Bardez and Salcete.

But after the death of Ismail Shah in 1534, Asad Khan patched
up with the new Shah. He retook both Bardez and Salcete from
the Portuguese by force in 1536. However, when the rivalry
between Asad Khan and the Shah surfaced, the Portuguese took
the side of the Shah. They signed a treaty in 1543 by which
the Portuguese got Bardez and Salcete in exchange of sending
Mir Ali, the Shah's uncle and rival to the throne, to Malacca.
Though they never fulfilled their promise, the territories
remained with them till 1961. Thus the old conquest ended
in 1543 with the acquisition of Tiswadi, Bardez and Salcete,
besides Daman and Diu in the 16th century.
