The Kingdom of Mysore in southern India was ruled by the Wodeyar dynasty, first as a Vijayanagara vassal. In the late 18th century Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan made it a major power that fought four wars with the British East India Company. After Tipu's death in 1799 the Wodeyars were restored as a princely state until 1950.
