Life
After the death of his father Barnim IV in 1365, Pommern-Wolgast was divided into the eastern Duchy of Pommern-Stolp (from the Swine to the Leba River) and the western duchies of Barth and Wolgast until 1372.

He was first on the side of Queen Margaret I of Denmark and in 1378 went over to the side of the Mecklenburgers to get rid of the old Danish feudal claims on Rügen.
