Bartholomew of Szczecin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bartholomäus, from the family tree of the Griffins by Cornelius Krommeny , 1598.

Bartholomäus von Stettin († around 1220) was a Pomeranian nobleman from the line of the Swantiboriden , a side line of the Greifenhaus ruling in Pomerania .

Bartholomäus von Stettin appears as a witness in documents from the years 1198, 1208 and 1218. He was a son of Wartislaw Swantiboricz († 1196), castellan of Stettin . Perhaps Bartholomäus, like his father, was at times castellan of Stettin, but as early as 1208, another nobleman named Rozwar was named as castellan of Stettin in the document in which Bartholomäus also appeared.

According to the judgment of the historian Martin Wehrmann , Bartholomäus named in documents from the years 1235 to 1254 is the grandson of this Bartholomäus (see: Bartholomäus († after 1254) ). In contrast, Robert Klempin had assumed that it was one and the same person. Bartholomew traveled to the Holy Land in 1219 ( Damiette's crusade ), was held captive in Egypt for years and only returned to Pomerania later; there is no evidence in the tradition for this assumption.

Marriage and offspring

Bartholomew's wife is unknown. He had a son, Wartislaw , who was probably castellan of Szczecin.

It is unclear whether Bartholomew had a second son named Swantibor. In a document of his son Wartislaw, which dates from 1218 and 1233, his "frater" Swantibor is mentioned. While Martin Wehrmann assumes that this is a second son of Bartholomäus', Klaus Conrad in the Pomeranian document book tends to assume that “frater” is used here in the sense of cousin and mine then Swantibor , the son of Casimir.
