Bayt Radm (Arabic: بيت ردم, romanized: Bayt Radm), also spelled Bayt Radam, and spelled Bayt Ardam in some historical sources, is a village in Bani Matar District of Sanaa Governorate, Yemen.[1] It is located about 20 km (12 mi) southwest of Sanaa, a bit to the south of the road to al-Hudaydah.[1]

History

Bayt Radm's fortress served as a minor stronghold from the end of the 12th century.[1] Its first mention in the Ghayat al-amani of Yahya ibn al-Husayn is in connection with the events of the year 1203 (599 AH).[1] In 1244 (642 AH), it was one of only three forts in the Sanaa area—the other were Thula and Dhu Marmar—that remained uncontrolled by the first Rasulid sultan, Nur al-Din Umar.[1] There is no indication, however, that Bayt Radm was anywhere near as important as either of the other two forts.[1]
