1. War of the Succession of Stettin

Was a conflict between the Dukes of Pomerania and the Elector of Brandenburg. It started in 1464, after the death of Duke Otto III, the last Duke of Pomerania-Stettin. The Dukes of Pomerania-Wolgast, Eric II and Wartislaw X, held that they were Otto's rightful heirs. Elector Frederick II of Brandenburg held that Pomerania-Stettin was a fief of Brandenburg.

August 1529: However, Brandenburg finally renounced feudal sovereignty only with the Treaty of Grimnitz in 1529. In return, the Dukes of Pomerania had to grant the Electorate of Brandenburg succession in the event that the Pomeranian ducal family died out.
