Bogislaw IV (c. 1255 – 19 or 24 February 1309), of theHouse of Griffin, wasDuke of Pomerania from 1278 until his death in 1309.
Bogislaw was the eldest son of DukeBarnim I by his second wife, Margaretha, sometimes said to be a daughter of KingEric X of Sweden. He was an adult at his father's death in 1278, having been co-ruler since 1276. His half-brothersBarnim II andOtto I were still very young and so he was sole ruler inPomerania during their minority.
In the early 1280s Bogislaw was involved in the war in the neighbouringmargraviate of Brandenburg. In 1295, Barnim II died and Pomerania was divided into two parts, with Bogislaw receivingWolgast and Otto receivingSzczecin (Stettin).[1]
In the 14th century, he was allied with would-beKing of PolandWładysław the Short. He was unsuccessfully involved in the opening stages of the decade-longBrandenburg War.
He died in 1309 leaving his share of Pomerania to his sonWartislaw. He is buried in Marienkirche in Stettin.[2]
At some point before 14 December 1278, he married Mechtild, daughter ofJohn I and a sister of reigning MargraveOtto IV. However, all of his known children were by a second marriage to Margarethe, daughter ofWizlaw II,Prince of Rügen. He married Margarethe before 1290, possibly in 1283–4.[3] He had one son and at least four daughters:
