Maveeran Alagumuthu Kone, born on 11th July 1728 and passed away on 19th July 1759, was a notable Indian freedom fighter hailing from Kattalankulam in Thoothukudi District. He was renowned for leading a rebellion against British rule and engaging in warfare against the Presidency armies in Tamil Nadu from 1750 to 1759.
Elevating to the position of a military leader in Ettayapuram and becoming the ruler of Kattalangulam, he demonstrated his strong leadership skills. Notably, in 1755, the formidable Alagumuthukone, and the Travancore force successfully clashed with Colonel Eron Keran's army, emerging victorious. However, his journey came to an end in 1759 when he suffered defeat at the hands of the British and Maruthanayagam's forces. It is worth mentioning that Alagumuthukone valiantly faced the cannons, orchestrated by Maruthanayaka, ultimately meeting his demise.
