Edit ProfileCareer
The marriage had been planned for 1446. However, it came about only after a lengthy dispute over the dowry. Through the mediation of Mayor Otto Voge of Stralsund, an amicable agreement, the Treaty of Ribnitz, was reached on 24 February 1454.
The Mecklenburg side claimed this share as a dowry for Catherine"s wedding.
This affected the Lordships of Barth, Zingst and Damgarten, which Barnim VIII had pledged to Catherine for 20000florins. Catharine was last mentioned on 21 July 1475.
Ulrich died in 1471. There were rumours that he was poisoned.
He was buried in Wanzka Monastery. As he had no male heirs, Stargard fell back to the line of Henry IV, Duke of Mecklenburg, who already ruled the rest of Mecklenburg.
Ingeborg (died probably 8 April 1509), married Eberwin II of Bentheim
Elisabeth (died 1532), Prioress of Rehna Abbey.
