Rani Chennamma:

Kittur Chennamma, an Indian Queen (Rani) of Kittur, a historic princely state in modern-day Karnataka, reigned from 14 November 1778 until 21 February 1829. In 1824, she overcame the idea of lapse and organized an armed rebellion against the British East India Company in an effort to keep hold of her empire. In the first insurrection, she overthrew the Company, but in the second rebellion, she perished as a prisoner of war. She is still revered as a folk hero in Karnataka and a key figure in the Indian independence movement since she was one of the first and few women to command rebel forces against British colonial control.

War broke out after Rani Chennamma wrote a letter arguing her case to Mountstuart Elphinstone, the Lieutenant-Governor of the Bombay region.  Upon the start of the war, the British stationed a detachment of sentries around Kittur's treasury and crown jewels, which were worth approximately 1.5 million rupees.  In order to combat the war, they also raised a force of 20,797 troops and 437 guns, primarily from the Madras Native Horse Artillery's third troop.  British soldiers suffered severe defeats in the opening battle of the conflict in October 1824, and political agent and collector St. John Thackeray was killed in action. Chennamma's lieutenant Amatur Balappa was primarily to blame for his demise and losses.
