Suatobor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Suatobor , also Suantibor , Svantibor or Swantibor , was a duke of the Pomerania at the beginning of the 12th century.

A reliable contemporary tradition on Suatobor comes from the chronicle of the Benedictine monk Gallus Anonymus († after 1116). This reports that a Suatobor, a relative of the Polish Duke Boleslaw III. Wrymouth , overthrown and imprisoned in Pomerania, but then (around 1106/1107) to Duke Boleslaw III. was delivered. Presumably this Suatobor is the same Duke, of whom the chronicle previously reported that he was killed in an attack by Duke Boleslaw III in 1105. had fled to Kolberg .

The chronicle also reports that a Pomeranian duke gave himself up to the Polish duke Boleslaw III in 1107/1108 in Kolberg. has subjected. This duke may no longer have been Suatobor, possibly it was Duke Suatopolk who was first mentioned by name for 1111/1112 .

No further details are known about Duke Suatobor. In particular, it is unknown whether Duke Suatobor was one of the ancestors of the Pomeranian ducal family of the Griffin , whose first reliable representatives were the brothers Wartislaw I († before 1148) and Ratibor I († 1156). It is also possible that he was an ancestor of the Swantiboriden line .
