Lands of Schlawe and Stolp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Pomerania-Stolp.
The Schlawe and Stolp Land,[lower-alpha 1] also known as Słupsk and Sławno Land,[lower-alpha 2] is a historical region in Pomerania, centered on the towns of Sławno (Schlawe) and Słupsk (Stolp) in Farther Pomerania, in present-day Poland.
The area is of some historic significance, as it initially was ruled by a cadet branch of the House of Griffin and did not belong to the Duchy of Pomerania (Slavinia) under Duke Wartislaw I and his descendants, when they became vassals of the Holy Roman Emperor in 1181. Ruled by the Samboride dukes of Pomerelia from 1227 and conquered by Margrave Waldemar of Brandenburg-Stendal in 1309, it was not incorporated into the Duchy of Pomerania until 1317.
