In 1613 the VOC, represented by Apollonius Scotte, signed its first contract with Bouton. The Company subsequently succeeded in strengthening its power in Bouton by driving out its main competitors Goa, in 1660, and Ternate, in 1667. Relations between the local rulers of the Bouton district and the VOC were generally good.
