BARNIM XI . (1501-1573), son of Bogislaus X., See also:duke of See also:Pomerania, became duke on his See also:father's See also:death in 1523. He ruled for a See also:time in See also:common with his See also:elder See also:brother See also:George; and after George's death in 1531 he shared the duchy with his See also:nephew See also:Philip I., retaining for himself the duchy of Pomerania-See also:Stettin. The earlier years of his See also:rule were troubled by a See also:quarrel with the See also:margrave of See also:Brandenburg, who wished to annex Pomerania. In 1529, however, a treaty was made which freed Pomerania from the supremacy of Brandenburg on See also:condition that if the ducal See also:family became See also:extinct the duchy should revert to Brandenburg. Barnim adopted the doctrines of See also:Martin See also:Luther, and joined the See also:league of See also:Schmalkalden, but took no See also:part in the subsequent See also:war. But as this attitude See also:left him without supporters he was obliged to submit to the See also:emperor See also:Charles V., to pay a heavy See also:fine, and to accept the See also:Interim, issued from See also:Augsburg in May 1548.
