RYAZAN

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 949 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
RYAZAN , a town of Russia,
capital
  of the government of the same name, 124 M. by rail S.E. of Moscow, on the elevated right bank of the Trubezh, a mile above its confluence with the Oka. Pop. (1897) 44,552. A wide prairie dotted with large villages, - the bottom of a former lake, spreads out from the base of the crag on which Ryazan stands, and actually has the aspect of an immense lake when it is inundated in the
spring
 . Ryazan is the see of an archbishop of the Orthodox Greek
Church
 . The
cathedral
 , first built in the 17th century, was reconstructed in 1776. The Krestovozdvizhensk
church
  contains tombs of the princes of the 15th and 16th centuries.
The
capital
  of Ryazan principality was Ryazannow Old Ryazan, a
village
  close to Spask, also on the Oka. It is mentioned in annals as early as 1o97i but continued to be the
chief
 -- town of the principality only until the 14th century. In the 11th century one of the Kiev princes founded, on the banks
of a small lake, a fort which received the name of Pereyaslav-Ryazanskiy. In 1294 (or in 1335) the
bishop
  of Murom, compelled to leave his own town, settled in Pereyaslav-Ryazanskiy. The princes of Ryazan followed his example, and by and by completely abandoned the old republican town of Ryazan. In 1300 a congress of Russian princes was held there, and in the following year the town was taken by the Moscow prince. It continued, however, to be the residence of the Ryazan princes until 1517. In 1365 and 1377 it was plundered and burned by the
Tatars
 , but in 146o, 15131 1521 and 1564 it was strong enough to repel them. Earthen walls with towers were erected after 13o1; and in the 17th century a kreml or citadel still stood on the high crag above the Trubezh.
