Under pressure from Mughal advances, Sultan Bahadur Shah of Gujarat concluded the 1534 Treaty of Bassein, granting the Portuguese control over Diu (and other territories); the fort was subsequently built by them ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahadur_Shah_of_Gujarat?utm_source=openai)). Earlier rulers like Ahmad Shah and Mahmud Begarha preceded Portuguese arrival, while Muhammad Shah ruled later with no such cession.
