Kingdom of Mysore under Chikka Devaraja and successors

Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar (r. 1673–1704) brought Mysore close to its later core: Hassan, Tumkur and Bangalore (bought from the Mughals in 1689), with Baramahal and Salem on the eastern edge.

From 1734 the Dalavayi brothers, and from 1761 Hyder Ali, held real power.
