Career
Europaische Stammtafaln does not cite an origin for Veronica. They had 4 children: Eric II, Wartislav X, Elizabeth and Christopher (who died young). In his youth, Wartislaw IX had some bad experiences.
He did this because Buggenhagen had previously killed Curdt Bonow, another of the duchess"s favorite.
Henneke von Behr was prosecuted. Some sources say he drowned trying to escape from Usedom Castle.
Other sources say he was taken prisoner in his castle at Nustrow and executed in Stralsund. Probably influenced by these events, Wartislav IX agreed with the cities and nobility of his country on the establishment of a Quatember Court, to ensure the rule of law.
However, he outlived them all and at the ed of his life he ruled Pomerania-Wolgast west of Swine river alone.
His worries focused on the Brandenburger estates of Torgelow and Pasewalk, which the Dukes of Wolgast held since 1369 as securities for a loan. A peace treaty of 1448 transferred ownership of these estates to Pomerania
In the so-called Golden Privilege of 1452, Wartislav granted extensive concessions to the cities, especially the powerful city of Stralsund (led by mayor Otto Voge). A lasting legacy was the founding of the University of Greifswald in 1456.
He died just six months after the formal opening of the alma mater gryphiswaldensis, but he had arranged numerous grants and the fledgling university was financially secure.
