Mecklenburg
Mecklenburg was a lordship on the Baltic, ruled in 1337 by Albert II of the house of Mecklenburg. He had succeeded his father Henry II in 1329.
Emperor Charles IV raised Mecklenburg to a duchy in 1348. Albert’s marriage to a Swedish royal heiress drew him into Scandinavian politics, and their younger son Albert became King of Sweden in 1364. Mecklenburg turned Protestant in 1549; its Schwerin and Strelitz duchies became grand duchies in 1815.
