Which ancient rulers controlled the islands that became Mumbai?

The islands that eventually became Mumbai were governed by several successive powers throughout history:

• Ancient Empires: The region was part of Ashoka’s empire in the 3rd century BCE. By the 2nd century CE, it was known to the geographer Ptolemy as Heptanesia.1
• Regional Dynasties: The Chalukyas ruled the area from the 6th to the 8th century. They were followed by Shilahara chiefs (9th–13th century) and later the Yadavas of Devagiri.1
• Sultanates and Colonial Powers: In 1348, the islands were conquered by Muslim forces and incorporated into the kingdom of Gujarat. In 1534, Sultan Bahādur Shah ceded the islands to the Portuguese. Finally, in 1661, the islands came under British control as part of a marriage settlement between King Charles II and Catherine of Braganza, before being transferred to the East India Company in 1668.1
