In the first half of the 18th century, the principality (or nawabship) of the Carnatic was formed with its capital at Arcot; the principality played an important role in the political life of southern India.

The British protege Muhammad All became the ruler of the principality. In 1801 the territory of the Carnatic was included in the Indian province of Madras.
