The Duchy of Pomerania-Stargard[a] was a feudal duchy of the Holy Roman Empire located in Western Pomerania. It existed between 1377 and 1478. Its capital was Stargard. It separated from Pomerania-Stolp in 1377 and existed until 1478 when it was incorporated into the unified Duchy of Pomerania. From 1395 until the end of its existence, the duchy remained in the personal union with Pomerania-Stolp, sharing the same duke. The state was ruled by dukes of the House of Griffins.
Hisstory[edit]
Rule of Bogislaw VIII and Barnim V[edit]
After the death of Duke Casimir IV of Pomerania-Stolp in 1377, lands of Pomerania-Stargard were separated from the duchy forming a separate state with capital in Stargard. Duchy was ruled by two brothers, Bogislaw VIII and Barnim V who had inherited the lands of the country from Casimir. In 1386, together with his brother, Wartislaw VII, Bogislaw VIII had signed the alliance with the State of the Teutonic Order, hoping to reclaim the lands the belonged to the previous duke of Pomerania-Stolp, Casimir IV. In 1390, he had switched sides, signing the alliance with the Kingdom of Poland. In 1395, Bogislaw VIII had allied with Władysław II Jagiełło and in 1403, he had become his courtier, plugging his alliance to Poland in case of war against the Teutonic Order.[1][2][3]
In 1395, after death of Wartislaw VII, older brother of Stargard dukes, they had inherited Pomerania-Stolp after him, making the personal union between two states. In 1402, they had divided their lands between each other, with Bogislaw VIII becoming the sole ruler of Pomerania-Stargard, and duchy being given the lands of Wolin, Kamień, Gryfice, Stargard, Trzebiatów and Białogard in the division.[4][5] After the death of Barnim V in 1403, Bogislaw VIII become again the duke of Pomerania-Stolp recreating the personal union between both duchies.[6]
In 1409 during the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War, Bogislaw VIII, had again allied with the Teutonic Order, and the next year, he had switched sides, allying with Poland in 1410, fighting in their side during the Battle of Grunwald. On 29 August 1410, he had pledged the submission of his duchies to the king of Poland. In the exchange, he had received Lauenburg and Bütow Land as well as Człuchów, Biały Bór, Debrzno, Świdwin and Czarne.[2][3] Bogislaw VIII had died on 11 February 1418.[7]
