MotherSophia of Sweden

He was the second eldest son of Hernry Borwin III and his wife Sophia (d. before 24 June 1241), the daughter of King Erik X of Sweden. His elder brother John died before his father, so after his father's death, Waldemar inherited Rostock and ruled alone. He died on 9 November 1282, or possibly one day later. He was buried in the Doberan Minster.

According to some sources, he went blind some time before his death and divided his territory between his sons. His sons ruled under the regency of their mother until 1284. From 1286, his youngest son Nicholas ruled alone.

Marriage and issue

Waldemar was married with Agnes, a daughter of Count John I of Kiel. They had three sons:

  • Henry Borwin IV (d. before 1285)
  • John (d. before 1285)
  • Nicholas I (before 1262 1314), Lord of Rostock from 1282 to 1312.
gollark: Yes. The docs are awful because ~~OC bad~~.
gollark: Anyway, just because you can describe it in natural language in a few sentences doesn't mean it's something you can *program* easily and simply.
gollark: I'm totally prepared to handle the answer. I designed CC orbital lasers.
gollark: Okay, so several problems:- this would actually be quite complex- I don't think drones can place things- navigation with drones is nontrivial, navigation upgrades have range limits of some sort and in any case don't actually use the world's "normal" coordinate system- why are you blowing up people with drones
gollark: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Alt+C.
