Maharaja of Mysore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Maharaja of Mysore" was the principal title of the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in India.
The Wodeyar dynasty founded a feudatory principality in 1399, which grew into the Kingdom of Mysore. The Wodeyars ruled that kingdom almost uninterruptedly between 1399 and 1947; they ruled initially as vassals of the Vijayanagara empire (1399-1646), then as independent rulers (1646-1799), and finally as allies of the British crown (1799-1947). The Maharajas of Mysore during these 650 years were:
