Pomerania, the region on both sides of …
Years: 1308 - 1308
Pomerania, the region on both sides of the Oder River, bounded by the Baltic Sea in the north and the Vistula River in the south, had been split during the twelfth century between Poland and the Holy Roman Empire; the eastern part has become known as Pomerelia.
The expansionist Brandenburg state having conquered the region, Lokietek, in mounting a recovery effort, agrees to ask for help the Teutonic Knights.
The Knights oblige, repulsing the Brandenburgers and seizing the city of Danzig in November 1308.
Some historians claim that, based on the subsequent stagnation and reversal in the development of Danzig, all the inhabitants of the city, Polish and German, were slaughtered.
This massacre is, however, disputed by other historians.
