Years: 1540 - 1683
The areas the Portuguese claim to control in Sri Lanka are part of what they majestically call the Estado da India and are governed in name by the viceroy in Goa, who represents the king, but in actuality, from headquarters in Colombo, the captain-general, a subordinate of the viceroy, directly rules Sri Lanka with all the affectations of royalty once reserved for the Sinhalese kings.
