Hope it is worth adding that, however useful and informative, Schwennicke's
Stammtaffeln, which content you partly provide at your website, in case of
Slavic dynasties ruling in the areas once belonging to Germans state(s),
still use German or germanised proper names (geographic and persons). For
example: Swantopolk is Swietopelk, Mestwin- Msciwoj, Dirschau is Tczew.
Pomerellen is a German name of Pomorze Gdanskie. This is a part of territory
which borders are determined by rivers Wisla (Vistula) in the east and Leba
or Slupia (can be disputable) in the West. Territory, westwards Leba and
until Odra (ger. Oder) was called in German Pommern, territories beyond Odra
and until river Rzeknica (Reknica) are now called in German Vorpommern. In
Polish, whole territory from Wisla until Rzeknica has been called Pomorze
(Latin, Pomerania) and in the medieval ages, was divided into separate
duchies (their number was changeable over the period) ruled by Slavic
dynasties, which were semi-dependent from bordering powers Poland, German
Kaisers, then rulers of March Brandenburg and kings of Danemark. Rivalry of
these powers for Pomerania territory, and later complex history of XVIII-XX
century resulted in present terminology chaos, but it is more rightly to use
Slavic names of persons used in medieval documents instead of their
distorted German equivalents. The same can be said of geographical names,
maybe excpet Pomeranian territories beyond Odra, which now belong to
Germany, but also in this case I would use double German-Slavic names, one
of them putting in brackets.
