The Treaty of Grimnitz (26 August 1529)〔Branig (1997), p.94〕 was the final settlement of a long-standing dispute between the House of Pomerania and the House of Hohenzollern regarding the legal status and succession in the Duchy of Pomerania.〔Schleinert (2007), p.37〕 It renewed〔Krause (1997), p.44〕 and amended the Treaty of Pyritz of 1493.〔 With some formal caveats,〔Schmidt (2007), p.120〕 the House of Pomerania received the Duchy of Pomerania as an immediate imperial fief. In turn the Electors of Brandenburg were granted the right of succession.〔Schmidt (2007), p.10〕 The treaty was concluded between Joachim I Nestor, Elector of Brandenburg, and the Pomeranian dukes Barnim IX and Georg I in Grimnitz near Eberswalde〔Lucht (1996), p.77〕 and was confirmed by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, in 1530 at the Imperial Diet in Augsburg.〔Christian von Nettelbladt und Karl Friedrich Wilhelm von Nettelbladt: ''Nexus Pomeraniae cum S. R. G., oder Versuch einer Abhandlung von der Verbindlichkeit Pommerschen Landen, sonderlich Königlich-Schwedischen Antheils, mit dem Heilig-Römisch-Teutschen Reich''. Garbe, Frankfurt/M. 1766, (pp. 156-160 ).〕 ==Background== The Brandenburg-Pomeranian conflict about whether the House of Pomerania had to take the Duchy of Pomerania as a fief from the Electors of Brandenburg or as an immediate fief of the Holy Roman Emperors was temporarily settled in 1493, when John Cicero of the Brandenburgian Hohenzollern, and Bogislaw X of the House of Pomerania, had concluded the Treaty of Pyritz. This treaty discarded the obligation of the Pomeranian dukes to take their duchy as a fief from the Hohenzollern, as ruled in the prior Treaties of Prenzlau (1472/1479), but granted the Hohenzollern the right of succession in case the House of Pomerania went extinct.〔 Heitz (1995), p.202〕 In Pyritz, John Cicero had hoped for prompt succession to the then childless Bogislaw X, but when children were born to Bogislaw,〔Materna (1995), p.260〕 he intrigued against him to prevent him from effectively gaining imperial immediacy.〔Stollberg-Rilinger (2008), p.81〕 Instead of taking sides in the Hohenzollern-Pomeranian dispute, Emperor Charles V invested both houses with the duchy and collected the respective tax from both.〔Stollberg-Rilinger (2008), pp.81-82〕 When Bogislaw X died 1523, he was succeeded by his sons Barnim IX and George I, who ruled together〔Krause (1997), p.43〕 and continued the dispute with John Cicero's successor, Joachim I Nestor.〔Stollberg-Rilinger (2008), p.82〕 After causing some sensation at the Imperial Diet's assemblies, various nobles of the Holy Roman Empire offered to mediate the conflict,〔 and a successful mediation by the Dukes of Brunswick, Eric I and Henry IV, resulted in a treaty〔 signed at ''Jagdschloß Grimnitz'', a hunting seat of the Brandenburgian electors in the Uckermark, north of Eberswalde.〔 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「Treaty of Grimnitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
