The state was located in the Słupsk and Sławno Land in Pomerania and its capital was Sławno.[1] Bogislaw III became the ruler of the country.[2] His existence remain contested, instead being proposed by some historians to be Bogusław I or Bogislaw II.[3] After his death, he was succsided by Ratibor II, whose existence also remains contested. Instead, he is sometimes proposed to be Ratibor of Białogarda[4] or Racibor Bogusławowic.[5] Between 1236 and 1238, the duchy was conquered and incorporated into the Duchy of Gdańsk.[6][7][8]
