After the Vijayanagara rulers were vanquished by the Deccan sultanates in the Battle of Talikota in 1565, their former capital was Chengalpattu. Because of its lake on one side and its surrounding swamps, the Vijayanagara rulers’ 16th-century castle at Chengalpattu held strategic importance. The British East India Company received a parcel of coastal property, where Fort St. George currently stands, from a local ruler, or nayak, who was subordinate to these kings in 1639. This territory became the foundation of the city of Madras.
