Description
Nederlands: De Portugees Pedro Lopez verwelkomt de keizerin van Ceylon, Dona Catharina. De Ceilonese vorst Rajasingha, die regeerde van 1582 tot 1593 (zie de opmerkingen bij: Koninklijke Bibliotheek, inv. nr. 189 A 6 deel II, p. 4), had Dona Catharina's vader onttroond. Na Rajasingha's dood probeerde de vorst van Candy, Vimala Dharma Suriya, het machtsvacuum op te vullen. De Portugezen versloegen hem echter en installeerden Dona Catharina als keizerin.

After Rajasingha's death the king of Candy, Vimala Dharma Suriya, attempted to fill the power vacuum. But the Portuguese defeated him and installed Dona Catharina as empress.
