from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ratibor II († before 1227) was a prince of the Schlawe-Stolp rule in Western Pomerania . He was the last member of the Ratiboriden , a sideline of the Greifenhaus ruling in Pomerania .

Life

Ratibor II is known only from a document from 1223, which was issued by Ratiborius Dei gracia princeps dictus terre Slauensis .

From this it is concluded that this Ratibor II. The successor of Bogislaw III. must have been in its territory. This in Pomerania preferred territory of Ratiboriden , one side of the line in Pomerania ruling grasping house is, as a country Schlawe so in the deed of 1223, or as a rule Schlawe-Stolp called. It is not known in which year Ratibor II took office.

In what relationship Ratibor II. To his predecessor Bogislaw III. stood is controversial. The historian Martin Wehrmann (1861–1937) sees Ratibor II as a son of Bogislaw III. In contrast, Rudolf Benl thinks that Ratibor II is either a half-brother of Bogislaw III. from the second marriage of his father or his cousin.

With the death of Ratibor II the line of the Ratiboriden died out. It is not known exactly when Ratibor II died. According to Martin Wehrmann, he probably died before 1227, after Rudolf Benl probably in 1223.

Succession dispute

After Ratibor II's death, there were inheritance disputes over the Schlawe-Stolp rule between the main line of the Greifenhaus on the one hand and the Samborids ruling in Pomerania on the other. At first, Denmark, which was then the leader in the Baltic Sea region, took possession of the country. When Denmark was weakened by the defeat in the Battle of Bornhöved (1227) , the Pomeranian Duke Barnim I seized it in agreement with his cousin Wartislaw III. of the country. But already in 1235/36, Duke Swantopolk the Great of Pomerania took possession of the land of Schlawe-Stolp and kept it.
