In the mean time the king of Ormuz was murdered atKishom by his own officers, who crowned his son Mamud Shah, a youth ofthirteen. On the arrival of Don Luis, a treaty was entered Into with thenew king, by which it was agreed that the king and inhabitants were toreturn to Ormuz; that the former tribute of 20, 000 _Xerephines_ shouldbe continued, and all arrears paid up; and that the Portuguese officersshould not interfere in the government of the city or its revenues. Onthe conclusion of this tr...eaty, the king sent a present of gold, jewels, pearls, and silks for the king of Portugal, and another for Don Luis, but which he publicly ordered to be sent along with the other. Some time after this, but in the same year 1522, Don Duarte went toOrmuz to examine into the cause of the late troubles; but he punishedthose who had least influence, and overlooked the most guilty. _ReisXarafo_, a person of great power, who had been the most activeinstigator in the late troubles, was rewarded; and _Reis Xamexir_, whohad killed _Reis Xahadim_ at the instigation of Don Luis, was banishedinstead of the promised reward.
