Tipu Sultan (c. 1750–1799)

Sultan of Mysore (now Karnataka) in southwestern India from the death of his father, Hyder Ali in 1782. He died of wounds when his capital, Seringapatam, was captured by the British. His rocket brigade led Sir William Congreve (1772–1828) to develop the weapon for use in the Napoleonic Wars.
