Nicholas III of Werle

Nicholas III, called Staveleke (born after 1311, died 1360–1361), was the eldest son of John II, Lord of Werle-Güstrow, and Matilda of Brunswick-Grubenhagen. When his father died in 1337 he ruled alone, and from 1339 jointly with his brother Bernard. In the 1347 partition Bernard received Werle-Waren while Nicholas kept Werle-Güstrow.

In 1338 he married Agnes of Mecklenburg, who bore him Lorenz and John V; his second wife was Mechtild of Holstein-Kiel, mother of his daughter Catherine. He is last attested in 1360.
