Stettin

Stettin was a Griffin duchy of Pomerania, centred on the Oder port of Stettin. In 1337 Duke Otto I faced Brandenburg's claims and the rival Wolgast line.

Otto's son Barnim III succeeded him in 1344. Bogislaw X reunited the Pomeranian lines in 1478, and the duchy adopted the Reformation in 1534. The last Griffin duke, Bogislaw XIV, died in 1637 during the Thirty Years' War. The Peace of Westphalia divided Pomerania in 1648; Stettin passed from Sweden to Prussia in 1720 after the Great Northern War.
