Henry Borwin II, Lord of Mecklenburg

Henry Borwin II (c. 1170–5 June 1226) of the Nikloting dynasty ruled Mecklenburg from 1219 and added Rostock in 1225. The son of Henry Borwin I, he backed Count Henry I of Schwerin against King Valdemar II of Denmark; victory at Mölln in 1225 and the Treaty of Bardowick freed Mecklenburg from Danish overlordship.

In 1200 he married Christina, said to be a daughter of King Sverker II of Sweden. He died at Güstrow in 1226, leaving four sons who in 1234 divided Mecklenburg into Werle, Parchim-Richenberg, Rostock and Mecklenburg.
