 | | Swietopolk is made ruler of western Pomerania with his seat in Stettin by his step-brother, Boleslaw I. Mieszko II loses Pomerania to the Holy Roman Empire. | | | This act was the basis of a claim by Brandenburg to Pomerania and Pomerellen during a later dispute over hereditary rights. | | | He breaks the power of the towns, frees the duchy from the overlordship of Brandenburg, reorganizes the administration and erects as a sign of his authority a residence and court in Stettin. |
