Sri Lanka: Wood engraving of Sinhalese chiefs or Radala, Kandy, 1880. In 1592 Kandy became the capital city of the last remaining independent kingdom in Sri Lanka after the coastal regions had been conquered by the Portuguese.

On March 2, 1815, a treaty known as the Kandyan Convention was signed between the British and the Radalas (Kandyan aristocrats); Kandy recognized the King of England as its King and became a British protectorate.
