This article appears in Volume V22, Page 810 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RADOM , a town of
Russia
 ,
capital
  of the government of the same name, roo m. by rail S. from
Warsaw
 . Pop. 28,749, half of whom were
Jews
 . It is one of the best built provincial towns of Poland. The
church
  of St Wlaclaw, contemporary with the foundation of the town, was transformed by the Austrians into a storehouse, and subsequently by the Russian government into a military prison. The old castle is in ruins, and the old Bernardine monastery is used as barracks. Radom has several iron and agricultural machinery works and tanneries. In 1216 it occupied the site of what is now Old Radom. New Radom was founded in 1340 by Casimir the
Great
 , king of Poland. Here Jadwiga was elected queen of Poland in 1382, and here too in 1401 the first act relating to the
union
  of Poland with Lithuania was signed; the seim or diet of 1505, where the organic law of Poland was sworn by the king, was also held at Radom. Several
great
  fires, and still more the Swedish war of 1701-7, were the ruin of the old city. After the third
partition
  of Poland in 1795 it fell under Austrian
rule
 ; it was in 1815 annexed to
Russia
 , and became
chief
  town of the province of Sandomir.
