The Obotrites ((ラテン語:Obotriti)) or Obodrites ((ポーランド語:Obodrzyce) meaning: at the waters), also spelled Abodrites ((ドイツ語:Abodriten)), were a confederation of medieval West Slavic tribes within the territory of modern Mecklenburg and Holstein in northern Germany (see Polabian Slavs). For decades they were allies of Charlemagne in his wars against the Germanic Saxons and the Slavic Veleti. The Obotrites under prince Thrasco defeated the Saxons in the Battle of Bornhöved (798). The still heathen Saxons were dispersed by the emperor, and the part of their former land in Holstein north of Elbe was awarded to the Obotrites in 804, as a reward for their victory. This however was soon reverted through an invasion of the Danes. The Obotrite regnal style was abolished in 1167, when Pribislav was restored to power by Duke Henry the Lion, as Prince of Mecklenburg, thereby founding the German House of Mecklenburg. ==Obotrite confederation== The Bavarian Geographer, an anonymous medieval document compiled in Regensburg in 830, contains a list of the tribes in Central Eastern Europe to the east of the Elbe. The list includes the Nortabtrezi (Obotrites) - with 53 ''civitates''. Adam of Bremen referred to them as the Reregi because of their lucrative trade emporium Reric. In common with other Slavic groups, they were often described by Germanic sources as Wends. The main tribes of the Obotritic confederation were:〔Herrmann 1970, pp. 7–8〕 *the Obotrites proper (Wismar Bay to Lake Schwerin); *the Wagrians (the eastern Holstein as part of Saxony); *the Warnower (the upper Warnow and Mildenitz); *the Polabians proper (between the Trave and the Elbe). Other tribes associated with the confederation include:〔 *the Linonen near Lenzen, *the Travnjane near the Trave, *the Drevani in the Hanoverian Wendland and the northern Altmark. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Obotrites」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
