==Expansion of the dynasty==<br />
Under Kumara Krishnappa Nayak's rule, the [[Madurai Nayak dynasty]] expanded. Most of the ancient Pandyan territories came under the Nayaks under his rule. In 1565 the Sultan rulers of the Deccan defeated Vijayanagar, the suzerain of the Nayaks, at the battle of [[Talikota]]. Vijayanagar had to abandon their capital [[Vijayanagara]] and reestablish at Penukonda in Anantapur, then reestablish at [[Vellore Fort]] and [[Chandragiri]] near Tirupathi, which later granted land to the British East India Company to build a fort at the present day [[Chennai]]. Finally they settled at [[Vellore]] in North Arcot. Their governors at Madurai, [[Nayaks of Kalahasti|Kalahasti]], [[Nayaks of Gingee|Gingee]] and [[Thanjavur Nayak kingdom|Tanjore]] still paid them tribute and other marks of respect; but in later years, when their suzerainty became weak, the Nayaks ruled independently.<br />
