The Duchy of Pomerania-Wolgast,[a] also known as the Duchy of Wolgast, and the Duchy of Wołogoszcz,[b] was a feudal duchy in Western Pomerania within the Holy Roman Empire. Its capital was Wolgast. It was ruled by the Griffin dynasty.[1] It existed in the Late Middle Ages era from 1295 to 1478.[1][2]
The state was formed in 1160, in the partition of the Duchy of Pomerania, with duke Bogislaw IV, as its first ruler.[1] In 1478, the state was incorporated into the re-unified Duchy of Pomerania, under the rule of duke Bogislaw X.[2] During its existence, part of its territory was partitioned into Pomerania-Stolp (1368), Pomerania-Neustettin (1368),[3] Pomerania-Barth (1376),[4] and Pomerania-Stargard (1377).[5][6][7]
