Dobroslawa (around 1230)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dobroslawa was a Pomeranian noblewoman from the ruling Greifenhaus and, by marriage, Countess von Gützkow .

The only reliable tradition about Dobroslawa is the summary ( regest ) of a now lost document that the early modern chronicler and historian Thomas Kantzow (1505–1542) had made. It reads: Miroslafa heft up hertoch Bugslaf Dochter Dobroslafen, countess tho Gotzkow, bede Stolp etlike gudere Gegeven, anno 1226 ("At the request of Duke Bogislaw's daughter Dobroslawa, Countess zu Gützkow, Miroslawa gave a number of goods to the Stolpe monastery in 1226" ).

From this it can be seen that Dobroslawa was Countess zu Gützkow in 1226. The naming of her father Bogislaw probably refers to Duke Bogislaw II († 1220), although according to the historian Adolf Hofmeister it could also mean Duke Bogislaw I († 1187) instead . The acting Duchess Miroslawa was the widow of Duke Bogislaw II.

Thomas Kantzow reported in his chronicle that Dobroslawa's husband was Count Niclas von Gützkow. The historian Martin Wehrmann considers this information to be credible. Since nothing else is known about a Count Niclas von Gützkow, it was often assumed that her husband was Wartislaw von Gützkow, who is mentioned in a document from 1218/1220, and a relationship with the later Counts of Gützkow from Jaczo was established Constructed by Salzwedel . But from a modern point of view, these are mere assumptions that have not been proven by sources. According to the historian Adolf Hofmeister , it is not at all clear who Dobroslawa's husband was.

In earlier research, an inscription in the Minorite Church in Greifswald , which has not survived, was related to Dobroslawa. According to current research, however, this inscription refers to Count Jaczo II von Gützkow and his wife Cecislawa.

The Dobroslawa mentioned in the document of 1226 should not be confused with the Dobroslawa von Schlawe, who probably lived a little earlier . In contrast, in the 19th century the historian Johann Ludwig Quandt erroneously assumed that both were one and the same person.
