Treaty of Pyzdry
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The Treaty of Pyzdry was signed on 2 November 1390 between Władysław II Jagiełło, king of Poland and Wartislaw VII of Pomerania-Stolp (Duchy of Słupsk).[1] The treaty, signed in Pyzdry, contained an oath of vassalage of Wartislaw to Jagiełło, the obligation to support the latter in the Polish-Teutonic War, and mutual trade alleviations for Pomeranian and Polish merchants.[2] Wartislaw VII, who with his brothers was allied with the Teutonic Order before,[3] received the Polish castellany of Nakło and probably some adjacent areas as a fief.[4][5]
Interpretation of the treaty
Script error: No such module "Multiple image". Since the treaty does not specify the oath of vassalage of Wartislaw VII to Jagiello,[6] different interpretations of the treaty are offered by historians:
- Gòrski (1947),[7] Labuda (1948),[7] Bardach (1960),[8] Fenrych (1961)[7] and Czaplinski (1970)[6] said the oath was for all territory held by Wartislaw VII, including Pomerania-Stolp;
- Mitkowski (1946),[7] Zientara (1969)[7] and Jasienica (1978)[9] said the oath was for the territory Waritislaw received as fiefs from Jagiełło (especially Nakło);
- Mielcarz (1976)[7] said the oath was binding only Wartislaw himself, as a person, to Jagiełło;
- Gumowski (1951)[7] said the document shows Wartislaw giving a general solemn promise of service.
In recent historiography, Kosman (1995) interprets the treaty in a way that Pomerania-Stolp became a Polish fief,[10] while Dzięgielewski (1995),[11] Czacharowski (2001)[12] and Buchholz (1999)[4] say the treaty was an alliance and the oath refers to Nakło being held as a Polish fief. Piskorski (1999) says that after the Duchy of Pomerania retained the Imperial immediacy it had gained in 1348 throughout the 14th and 15th centuries.[13] With respect to the discourse in Polish historiography, Branig and Buchholz (1997) say that however the treaty is interpreted, it did not have any significance for the future.[14]
Aftermath
During the Polish-Teutonic wars, the Pomeranian dukes changed sides between Poland and the knights very frequently.[15] Wartislaw's brothers Barnim V and Bogislaw VIII took on a friendly attitude towards the Teutonic Order, and Naklo returned to the Polish Crown after Wartislaw's death.[15] Wartislaw went on a pilgrimage in 1392/1393,[16] and died either in 1394 or 1395.[17]
