Union of Lublin
Signing of the Union of Lublin Source — Wikipedia, "Timeline of Polish history" (16th century):
Głównym dziełem sejmu radomskiego 1505 r. miało być trwałe zjednoczenie z Polską Litwy oraz Prus. Zarówno konstytucje wydane na tym sejmie, jak i opublikowanie zbioru praw miały na celu między innymi ukazanie Korony jako Rzeczypospolitej praworządnej i sprawiedliwej, w której los poddanych nie jest zależny od samowoli władcy, lecz chroniony jest przez rozumne prawo i sprawiedliwość. Miał to być sygnał wysłany sąsiednim krajom, połączonym już wieloma węzłami z Polską, który miał wzbudzić ich zaufanie, co do ściślejszego z nią zespolenia aż do całkowitej unifikacji. Jak pisał Michał Bobrzyński, niezwykle uroczyście na zjeździe panów litewskich w Brześciu 25 lutego 1505 wystąpił kanclerz Jan Łaski. W imieniu polskiego senatu przedstawił on zagadnienia istotne z punktu widzenia unii, takie jak wspólna elekcja władcy, zapewnienie mu dochodów z dóbr stołowych takich, ażeby wystarczały nie tylko na utrzymanie dworu, lecz także na obronę państwa, organizacja dworu królewskiego. Pojawiła się tu także propozycja ustanowienia jednej stolicy w centrum połączonych krajów (prawdopodobnie miał nią być królewski Radom, do którego zwołano sejm walny, rozpoczęty 30 marca). Istotne były kwestie formy rządów i obrony państwa, rozstrzygania sporów, wspólnej dyplomacji oraz sejmów. Wzywając zaś panów litewskich do przybycia na sejm radomski, zwołany bez wątpienia głównie celem ostatecznego przypieczętowania integracji państw jagiellońskich, przemówić miał Łaski w te słowa: "Wiecie, jak sławna, jak straszna była potęga królów polskich, kiedy Korona razem z Wielkim Księstwem występowała i wojny połączonemi siłami toczyła, wiecie, jak bogaty był wówczas nasz wspólny monarcha, a teraz jak upadła powaga imienia królewskiego i potęga obojga rzeczy pospolitych, naszej i waszej". Była to zatem druga próba wcielenia w życie projektu wielkiego dzieła, który po raz pierwszy ujawniono w akcie tzw. unii piotrkowsko-mielnickiej. Jej artykuł pierwszy przewidywał, iż Regnum Poloniae et Magnus Ducatus Lithwaniae uniantur et conglutinentur in unum et indivisum ac indifferens corpus, ut sit una gens, unus populus, una fraternitas et communia consilia eidemque corpori perpetuo unum caput, unus rex unusque dominus in loco et tempore assignatis per praesentes et ad electionem convenientes votis communibus eligatur quodque absentium obstantia electio non impediatur et decretum electionis in Regno semper sit iuxta consuetudines circa illud ex antiquo servatas. Tym razem sprawy te miały zostać uregulowane już ostatecznie i nieodwołalnie podlegać realizacji. Był to jednak program jedynie panów koronnych; program, którego nie można było jeszcze zrealizować w początku XVI w. Członkowie rady wielkoksiążęcej, którzy zjechali do Radomia w maju 1505 nie dysponowali żadnymi pełnomocnictwami w tym zakresie, strona litewska nie wystawiła także rewersałów unii z roku 1501. Takim obrotem sprawy nie była zainteresowana także dynastia Jagiellonów, która w ten sposób utraciłaby swe dziedziczne prawa na Litwie. Szczególnie doniosłe znaczenie przyznać należy dziełu podjętemu w roku 1505. Podjęta została wówczas niezwykle ważna próba przebudowy całego systemu państwowego i politycznego. Nie mogła ona zakończyć się stuprocentowym powodzeniem, nie była, bowiem jeszcze możliwa w tym czasie ścisła integracja z Koroną wszystkich ziem z nią w jakiś sposób związanych. Udało się jednak dokonać na gruncie prawnym zmian ustrojowych w systemie władzy państwowej, a ponadto położyć fundament, na którym z czasem wzniesiono gmach Rzeczypospolitej Wielu Narodów, czego najdonioślejszym akcentem był prezentowany tutaj akt Unii Lubelskiej 1569 roku.

During the Livonian War (1578-1582), between Ivan the Terrible of Russia and Stefan Batory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the city was besieged by the Polish and Lithuanian forces. The joined army failed to capture the city, but forced Russia to return other territories and gained Livonia. The siege was the setting of this painting. The siege of Pskov from the Polish perspective: Batory at Pskov, 1581/1582. Painting by Jan Matejko in 1872. Matejko's allegoric painting illustrates the concept of romantic nationalism: the Muscovites are represented doing homage to the Polish king, which appear victorious, although in reality Pskov never fell to the Poles, as the conflict ended with negotiations before the siege was concluded.
