:''For the 1309 treaty between Brandenburg and the Teutonic Order, see Treaty of Soldin (1309).'' The Treaty of Soldin ((ドイツ語:Vertrag von Soldin)) was signed on 21 January 1466 at Soldin (now Myślibórz) by the Brandenburgian elector Frederick II and the Pomeranian dukes Eric II and Wartislaw X.〔Heitz (1995), p.194〕 It was mediated by the town of Stettin (now Szczecin).〔 The treaty temporarily settled a conflict about the succession of Otto III, Duke of Pomerania, who had died without issue: Emperor Frederick III, elector Frederick II as well as Eric II and Wartislaw X of Pomerania claimed to be the rightful heir of Otto's share of the Duchy of Pomerania.〔Materna (1995) p.205〕 The Brandenburgian elector and the Pomeranian dukes bypassed the emperor's claims, and settled for a solution where the Pomeranian dukes took the Duchy of Pomerania, including Otto's as well as their own shares, as a fief of the Electorate of Brandenburg.〔 The implementation of the treaty failed due to the refusal of parts of the Pomeranian nobility and the town of Stettin to obey to the treaty's terms.〔Heitz (1995), p.195〕 Neither did the Pomeranian dukes enforce the treaty, and successfully intrigued against it at the emperor's court.〔 Brandenburg tried to enforce the treaty militarily, yet initially with limited success.〔Heitz (1995), pp.196–199〕 Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor declared the treaty null and void in 1469,〔Heitz (1995), p.198〕 but confirmed Brandenburg's claims in 1470.〔Heitz (1995), p.199〕 The treaty of Soldin was superseded by the Second Peace of Prenzlau in May 1472, that ended the war and confirmed Pomerania as a Brandenburgian fief.〔Heitz (1995), p.200〕 ==Background== Brandenburg and the Duchy of Pomerania were part of a long-standing dispute regarding the status of the latter. While Brandenburg regarded Pomerania to be her legal fief, the Pomeranian dukes rejected such claims. Both sides were at times successful in convincing the Holy Roman Emperor of their respective view, and frequently, the conflict resulted in warfare. The most recent of these armed conflicts was fought between 1444 and 1448 about territory in the Uckermark, claimed by both Pomerania and Brandenburg.〔Heitz (1995), p.192〕 The First Peace of Prenzlau (1448) had ended this war by dividing the area in a Brandenburgian and a Pomeranian part.〔 The Duchy of Pomerania was itself internally divided between various members of the House of Pomerania, each of whom ruled a part ("Teilherzogtum") of it named after its respective primary residence. In 1455, Frederick II, Elector of Brandenburg had bought back the Neumark from the Teutonic Order State,〔Kroll (2006), p.37〕 and was searching for an access to the Baltic Sea for his land-locked electorate.〔 During the 1450s, the Pomeranian dukes faced fierce opposition of the Hanseatic towns within their duchy. Stralsund refused to accept the dukes as overlords at all in 1451, and reconciled with the dukes only in a peace of 12 July 1454.〔 In 1457, burghers of Stralsund and Greifswald assaulted duke Eric II and his entourage – Eric barely escaped.〔 Also in 1457, the Hanseatic towns of Stralsund, Greifswald, Demmin and Anklam conclude an alliance directed against the Pomeranian dukes.〔Heitz (1995), p.193〕 In 1459, Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor, renounced all freedoms previously granted by the emperors to the Pomeranian dukes.〔 The same year, Eric of Pomerania's death caused a conflict between the remaining dukes Eric II, Wartislaw X and Otto III about Eric's heritage – Eric II claimed all for himself.〔 This led Otto III and Wartislaw X to ally with the elector of Brandenburg on 6 September 1459, and with Denmark on 27 July 1462, both alliances were directed against Eric II.〔 The dukes however reconciled in 1463.〔 An epidemic wave of the Black Death had reached Pomerania in 1451.〔 Many members of the House of Pomerania fell victim to this epidemic, including Otto III of Pomerania-Stettin,〔Buchholz (1999), p.183〕〔Materna (1995), p.204〕 who died without issue on 10 September 1464.〔 The remaining dukes Wartislaw X and Erich II on one side, and the Brandenburgian elector on the other side both claim Otto's Teilherzogtum.〔〔 Negotiations in Prenzlau on 13 January 1465 ended without a result.〔Heitz (1995), p.194〕 Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor initially rejected both the Pomeranian and the Brandenburgian claims, and considered Pomerania-Stettin as his personal property.〔 On 21 March, the emperor drafted a document confirming Brandenburg's claim, yet this title was kept in Nuremberg and had to be bailed out with 37,000 gulden.〔〔 This did not happen,〔 as the elector could not afford to pay this sum.〔 Brandenburgian-Pomeranian negotiations in April and May in Prenzlau failed.〔 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 Soldin (1466)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
