Warsaw became the Capital of Poland in 1596, we can say, accidentally. King Sigismund III, has moved the royal house and his residence to the small town- Warsaw because of great fire in older Capital- Krakow, and also due to the war with Sweden (Warsaw was quite a save place when more notable cities of Poland were endangered). Former Capitals are also Gniezno, Poznan, Plock, Lublin and Lodz.
