Was a Zamindari estate of the Madras Presidency in British India.

Establishment

  • January 1801: King Vikram Dev (r 1758-1781) led his feudal lords and other little kings of the region in military opposition to the British colonial influence, leading to an attack by the British in 1775 which destroyed the fort at Jeypore. His son, Rama Chandra Dev II (r 1781-1825) reversed the strategy, preferring co-operation to resistance and being favoured by the British for that stance.
