Partitions Of The Duchy Of Pomerania

Inachin, ''Die Geschichte Pommerns'', Hinstorff Rostock, 2008, p.30, The partitions were named after the ducal residences: Pomerania-Barth, -Demmin, -Rügenwalde, -Stettin, -Stolp, and -Wolgast. None of the partitions had a hereditary character,Norbert Buske, ''Pommern'', Helms Schwerin 1997, p.21, the members of the House of Pomerania inherited the duchy in common.
