Biography

edit

He was born inGrabow as theposthumous son ofDuke Adolf Frederick I of Mecklenburg and his second wife, Maria Katharina ofBrunswick-Dannenberg (1616–1665).[1]

In 1695, theMecklenburg-Güstrow branch of theHouse of Mecklenburg became extinct and Adolphus Frederick's nephew,Frederick William, Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, laid claim to the inheritance, a move which Adolphus Frederick opposed.[2]

The dispute was settled in 1701 by dividing Mecklenburg-Güstrow between the two claimants. Frederick William took theDuchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and Adolphus obtained thePrincipality of Ratzeburg and theLordship of Stargard with the commanderies ofMirow and Nemerow, of which he formed theDuchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.[3][1]

Following his death in 1708, Adolphus Frederick was succeeded as Duke by his son,Adolphus Frederick III.
