Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
TIPPOG SAHIB (17531799) ,
sultan
  of Mysore, son of Hyder Ali (q.v.), was born in 1753. He was instructed in military tactics by French
officers
  in the employment of his father. In 1767 in the invasion of the Carnatic he commanded a corps of cavalry, and he distinguished himself in the Mahratta War of 1775-79. On the outbreak of the first Mysore War in 178o he was put at the head of a large
body
  of troops, and defeated Brathwaite on the banks of the Coleroon in February 1782. He succeeded his father in December 1782, and in 1784 concluded peace with the British, and assumed the title of
sultan
 . In 178788 he subjugated the Nairs of Malabar, and in 1789 provoked British invasion by ravaging the territories of the raja of Travancore. When the British entered Mysore in 1790, he retaliated by a counter-invasion, but was compelled by
Cornwallis
 's victory near
Seringapatam
  to cede half his dominions (
March
  16, 1792). The British having deemed it necessary to renew hostilities in
March
  1799, he was shut up in
Seringapatam
  and finally killed during the
storm
  (May 4, 1799). Tippoo was of cruel disposition, and inferior in military talents to his father.
See L. B. Bowring, Haidar All and Tipu Sultan (" Rulers of India
series
 ," 1893).
