Miroslawa from Pomeranian

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Miroslawa von Pommerellen († probably 1240 ) was a princess of Pomerania from the ruling house of the Samborids and by marriage Duchess of Pomerania . From 1220 to 1233 she exercised the reign of her underage son in Pomerania-Stettin .

Life

Miroslawa was a daughter of Duke Mestwin I of Pomerania and thus came from the local ruling house of the Samborids . She married Duke Bogislaw II of Pomerania, who ruled in the partial duchy of Pomerania-Stettin . The year of the marriage is not known for certain, the historian Johann Ludwig Quandt put the marriage in the year 1208. The marriage resulted in a son, Barnim I , and two daughters, Woislawa († 1229) and Dobroslawa .

Duke Bogislaw II died in 1220. The Dowager Duchess Miroslawa exercised the reign of the young Duke Barnim I until 1233. It is not known for sure when Barnim I was born and how old he was during the reign. The historian Martin Wehrmann assumed that Barnim I was born around the year 1210. Thereafter he would have been around 10 years old when his father died and his mother would have ruled (or at least participated in the government) until he was around 23 years old. The historian Adolf Hofmeister, however, put the birth of Barnim I on around 1218; his mother would then have ruled for him until he was about 15 years old.

The seal of Duchess Miroslawa showed “in a round field on the left on a raised throne the Duchess in a long cloak, the right in front of her chest, the left stretched out to Barnim standing on the right in front of her, who was holding a flag with her right hand the left a lily is enough ”. According to the historian Theodor Pyl , however, it should not be a lily, but a sword in its scabbard.

It is not known for sure when Duchess Miroslawa died. The information in the Pomerania that she died in 1240 may be correct. According to genealogical writers from the 16th and 17th centuries, she, like her husband before, is supposed to be buried in the Stettin Jakobikirche .
