Abstract

Błażej Śliwiński ŚWIĘTOPEŁK “KOŁBACKI”, CONTRIBUTION TO THE MODERN TRADITION ABOUT 13TH C. PRONCES OF EASTERN POMERANIA Scholar from Augsburg, Philipp Hainhofer, who was in Western Pomerania in 1617, while describing his stay in former Cistercian monastery in Kołbacz, he quoted the piece of work, which was praising prince Świętopełk, who was not well described by him, with the addition, that this prince has been excommunicated by the Pope and was not buried in the church by this monks, who earlier praised him so. Mysterious Prince Świętopełk went to the latest, the monumental “Rodowód książąt pomorskich” by Edward Rymar as an unidentified “Świętopełk kołbacki” although the author suggested that it may be a prince of Gdańsk Świętopełk, reigning in the years 1220–1266. In the article, author, supports this conjecture, indicating that that the piece of work is the same as the epitaph of Prince Świętopełk Gdański, known for the so-called ,,Tablic oliwskich” (“Tablets of Oliva”) resulting in a Cistercian monastery near Gdańsk Oliwa, a branch monastery in Kołbacz. It is also pointed out, that information about prince, who died under a curse, concerns not Świętopełk but his younger brother, prince of Tczew, Sambor II, who died in exile, and actually was not burried in princes family necropolis, which constituted monastery in Oliwa. In Philipp Hainhofer’s relation it is recognized as an important fact, that in the circles of the Cistercian related with Oliwa, was prevailing the belief, that before his death Sambor II he was not removed from his curse. Although such an opinion prevails in contemporary historiography, but only because of the lack of sources talking about the repeal of the curse, which left a shadow of a doubt, does it is not only the effect of loss of relevant documents. The relation of Philipp Hainhofer erase doubts about a possible missing sources, because if such was existed, the Cistercians associated with Oliwa, would have known about them.
