Wartislaw II Swantibor, also known as ''Wartislaw the Younger'' or ''Wartislaw Swantiboritz'' (d. 1196) was a member of a cadet line of the House of Griffins, who ruled the Duchy of Pomerania. Wartislaw II was Castellan of Szczecin. He is the only known son of Swantibor I, a Pomeranian prince about whom very little is known. In the early 1170s, a Danish army under King Valdemar I besieged Szczecin Castle. Reportedly, Wartislaw II surrendered and handed the castle to the Danes.〔Martin Wehrmann: ''Geschichte von Pommern'', vol. 1, Weltbild Verlag, 1992, reprint of the edition published in 1919 and 1921, ISBN 3-89350-112-6, p. 84.〕 In 1173, he founded Kołbacz Abbey.〔Wehrmann: ''Geschichte von Pommern'', p. 86〕 After the death of Duke Bogislaw I in 1187, Wartislaw II and Boglislaw's widow Anastasia jointly acted as guardians and regents for the underage Dukes Bogislaw II and Casimir II. The fact that he was their guardian is considered a strong indication that he was closely related to them; the exact family relationship is unknown. Wartislaw II was charged with convincing King Canute VI of Denmark to enfeoffed the young Dukes with Pomerania. However, a revolt against Denmark broke out during his rule, and in 1189, Canute VI deposed him and appointed Prince Jaromar I of Rügen as regent. Wartislaw II then retired from public life. Nothing is known about his later life, except the archives of Kołbacz mention that he died in 1196.〔Wehrmann: ''Geschichte von Pommern'', p. 91〕 == Issue == His known sons: * Bartholomew of Szczecin (d. ), probably Castellan of Szczecin * Casimir (d. 1220), Castellan of Kołobrzeg It is disputed whether Bishop Conrad II of Cammin (d. 1233) was a son of Wartislaw. 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「Wartislaw Swantibor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
