East India Company in
the Carnatic, Anglo-Mysore and Polygar wars, the kingdom was brought under the Company's
protection in 1800 as per the system of Subsidiary
Alliance. The state was
placed under the control of the Madras Presidency from 1800 until 1 October
1923, when the Madras
States Agency was
abolished, and until 1948 it was under the political control of the Government
of India.
It extended over the whole of the
present-day Pudukkottai
district of Tamil Nadu (with the exception of Aranthangi taluk which was then a part of Tanjore district). The
town of Pudukkottai was its capital.
