In the second battle of Seringapatnam, the British suborned Mir Sadiq, Tipu's chief vizier. He deliberately withdrew his troops from the section of the curtain wall the British breached.
Mysoreans still remember to this day the Nizam of Hyderabad's craven assistance to the British, and you could argue that was another form of treachery.
