Wartislaw I, Duke Of Pomerania
Wartislaw I (''Warcisław I'') (around 1092 – August 9, 1135) was the first historical ruler of the Duchy of Pomerania and the founder of the Griffin dynasty. Most of the information about him comes from the writings on the life of Otto of Bamberg. He was of Slavic origin, most likely born around the turn of the twelfth century.Rymar, pg. 97 Early in life he was probably a "crypto-Christian", after being baptized while a prisoner of the Saxons, because he wanted to hide his new religion from his still pagan subjects. In 1109 Wartislaw was defeated in the Battle of Nakło by Bolesław III Wrymouth, the Duke of Poland, to whom he became a vassal sometime between 1120 and 1123. He agreed to pay tribute to Bolesław, as well as to Christianize Pomerania. To that effect, he, along with Bolesław, backed Otto of Bamberg in his successful Conversion of Pomerania. By 1124 his residence was in (Kammin) Kamień Pomorski.Rymar, pg. 98 The last time he is mentioned explicitly in chronic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wartislaw II, Duke Of Pomerania
Wartislaw II ( ~ 1160 – ~ 1184) was a duke of Pomerania-Demmin. He either was a son of Bogislaw I and Walburga of Denmark, or Wartislaw of the Swantiboride sideline of the Griffins, castellan of Szczecin. Wartislaw II was a son of Bogislaw I, duke of Pomerania-Stettin and his first wife Walburga of Denmark. He was married to Sophia of Poland, yet they had no children. Wartislaw received Pomerania-Demmin after Casimir I of Pomerania-Demmin died in 1180. This version is challenged by Adolf Hofmeister (1883–1956), who states that he has been confused with the Swantiboride ''castellan'' of Szczecin, Wartislaw (''Wartislaw Swantiboricz or Swantiboriz''), who is known to have been one of the legal guardians of Casimir II, who would be the next duke to rule Pomerania-Demmin. {{s-end See also *List of Pomeranian duchies and dukes *History of Pomerania *Duchy of Pomerania *House of Pomerania The House of Griffin or Griffin dynasty (german: Greifen; pl, Gryfici, da ...
