This was the final conflict of the four Anglo-Mysore Wars. The
British took indirect control of Mysore, restoring the Wodeyar
Dynasty to the Mysore throne (with a British commissioner to advise
him on all issues). Tipu's young heir, Fateh Ali, was sent into
exile. The Kingdom of Mysore became a princely state of British
India, and ceded Coimbatore, Uttara Kannada, and Dakshina Kannada
to the British. The war, specifically the Battle of Mallevey and
the Siege of Seringapatam, with many of the key protagonists, is
covered in the historical novel Sharpe's Tiger.
