Ratibor († 1183)

Ratibor (* around 1160; † January 14 or 15, 1183 ) was a prince from the Greifenhaus ruling house in Pomerania .

He was the eldest son of the Pomeranian Duke Bogislaw I and his first wife. From 1182, a document has been handed down in which Duke Bogislaw I, with the consent of his sons Ratibor and Wartislaw ("consentientibus filiis nostris Ratiburone et Wartizlao") confirms donations for the foundation of the Broda monastery . From this it can be concluded that Ratibor, like his younger brother Wartislaw , was then an adult.

As reported in the Kolbatzer annals ( Kolbatz Monastery ), Ratibor is on 14./15. Died January 1183, before his father. He was buried in the Stolpe Monastery.

It is not certain whether Ratibor was married. The Polish historian Oswald Balzer assumed that Ratibor was with Salome, a daughter of the Polish Duke Mieszko III. , was married, just as - what is certain - Ratibor's father Bogislaw I was married in second marriage to Salome's sister Anastasia. However, according to the judgment of the historian Martin Wehrmann, there is no documentary evidence of such a marriage. The historian Max Perlbach , however, assumed that Ratibor had been married to Judith, another of the sisters. However, it has been reported that this with Duke Bernhard III. was married by Saxony; Historian Martin Wehrmann does not consider it likely that this was Judith's second marriage. Racibórz descendants are not known.
