He succeeded his father in 1309 as WARTISLAW IV Duke of Pomerania in Wolgast und Hinterpommern. He succeeded as Duke of Rügen in 1325. He signed a treaty of mutual defence with Wladysław I "Lokietek" King of Poland 18 Jun 1325, which from Pomerania's viewpoint was aimed at protecting itself from Brandenburg's expansion. However, Duke Wartislaw signed another mutual defence treaty with the Teutonic Knights in Sep 1325 which, from Poland's viewpoint, was incompatible with the earlier treaty because of the king's continuing dispute with the Order over Gdansk[141].
